amultiplicity of academic environments.Keywords: International Students, Engineering, Intercultural competence, Advising interactions,mentorship/mentoring.IntroductionThe United States is one of the most preferred destination countries for international students atthe graduate level [1]. Currently, according to the most recent report filed by the Institute ofInternational Education, there are over a million students from colleges and universities acrossthe US. These international students contribute to 5% of the overall student population. [2]Engineering programs are among the most highly taken up courses by international students inthe United States [3]. The literature review illustrates the cultural adaptation involved in thereversible process of

, set goals, and can prioritize theirtasks. Compared to undergraduate students, these activities do not always present as muchchallenge to graduate students, and international graduate students do not necessarily struggle toachieve them. However, mastering learning strategies and understanding academic expectationsand the general educational system helps international graduate students succeed.Academic pressure in the first semester at graduate school sometimes overshadows theimportance of positive mental well-being. Imposter syndrome, workload, and social isolationincrease stress and anxiety [3]. These factors impact the ability of international graduate studentsto thrive [3] in their academic pursuits.

2014 report indicate thatneurodiverse individuals make up only around 3% of science and engineering doctoral degreerecipients [10].Graduate students face a unique set of challenges when compared to undergraduate students,with faculty advisors playing a large role in student success. Several studies have noted specificchallenges related to advisors, including work-life balance, which may be impacted by facultyexpectations, and hierarchical faculty-student relationships [11]-[13]. Satterfield et al.’s [14]literature review focused on the experiences of graduate students during their studies andexplored how individual factors (the influence of the student’s advisor), programmatic factors(isolation and teaching assistantships), and external

To what extent does the construct validity evidence of the scale hold for engineering doctoral students? 3. What is the level of internal consistency reliability for engineering doctoral student data from the survey’s scale?II. Theoretical FrameworkA.

Meme creators often frame themselves asfacing the difficult choice between sleeping, having a social life, and taking care of themself inthe notoriously little free time that overworked graduate students have. Our findings suggest thatstudents generally found this myth to be false (Figure 3). Several participants noted a temporalaspect to their experience of WLB, particularly among international students, expressing thesentiment that “in the beginning, a lot of people take things very seriously, and they, they mightwant to put in a lot of effort and take a hit on your personal life” but eventually come to theconclusion that some kind of balance is required to be sustainable.
