internalization of certain valuesover others.IntroductionGraduate students engaging in research education are vying for admission to a community ofscholars, learning to operate within specific requirements, regulations, and expectations in eachfield of study [1]. Shifts in how doctoral students view themselves and their peers, their mentors,the field, and generated knowledge occur throughout the research education process.Simultaneously, students proceed through the process of taking on or rejecting values and valuesystems (axiology) that are proliferated and perpetuated in their professional field of study. Inaddition to messages conveyed from graduate development within engineering environments,graduate students also bring their beliefs about knowledge

microstructure fabrication involves a wide array of disciplines, fromcondensed matter physics, materials science, and electrochemistry to niche subfields such aselectron microscopy. The integrative nature of microelectronics has been emphasized since the1970s, with governmental funding for interdisciplinary research centers being especially notable.Prevailing the engineering science landscape, it is undeniable that developing advancedcomputer chips requires cross-discipline collaboration, technical support and communication. Aswe have previously shown in [2], interdisciplinarity can be practiced in the classroom, givingstudents a head start on professional development and career choice.

Research suggests emerging technologies have great potential toimprove learning and help students develop an interest in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) [1]. In essence, academia, non-profits, and for-profits have begun todevelop AI curricula and resources for pre-college education [2].

The interest inintegrating these students into four-year universities emerges from the increasing need torepresent who prepared STEM individuals are, which is why academic and social transition isvital [3, 4]. Previous research states that there is a need for occupations in STEM, and recruitingSTEM transfer students through community college is a path to obtaining more degrees withthese

The present workhypothesizes that a targeted, year-long orientation program in the first year of graduate educationcan improve the success of MGs in engineering graduate school, where success is defined bothemotionally and professionally, through three main intervention strategies. The orientationprogram should provide opportunities to build a cohort or feeling of community within MGs, todirectly learn strategies from older graduate students for success in
