Yet there isrecognition of the need to develop opportunities for graduate students to enhance theirunderstanding of pedagogy [1], [2], [3] and of the important role that graduate student teachingexperience plays in the developing graduate students into effective teachers [4], [5]. Althoughresearch on graduate student teaching training stretches back more than 20 years, little discussionand research exists on the impact of systematic teaching-focused programs for engineeringdoctoral

is on theresearch completed and the candidate’s ability to conduct research. Perhaps this is, in part, becausethe positive impact of graduate teaching is underestimated. It may seem plausible that graduatestudents already have a large enough workload and need to focus solely on their dissertationresearch without additional compromises. Another concern may be that experienced faculty memberswould be better able to teach undergraduates. However, a recent study reveals that undergraduatesare twice as likely to choose to major in a subject when taught by a graduate student compared tostudents taught by faculty and that “graduate students who teach more frequently are more likely tograduate in a timely manner and more likely to subsequently be

Students in past REU cohortshave indicated that learning to be independent researchers is important to them [4].Difficulties EncounteredSeveral difficulties arose during the collaborative project. In agreement with previous studies [5],it was found that direct communication between the undergraduate REU participants andmentors/advisers was essential to make progress during the short time frame offered by the 10-week REU program. However, not all information that was communicated between the twocollaborating REU participants was relayed to the graduate mentors or faculty advisers.

Though these differences exist, we can still find shared traits and parallels in different forms ofUREs. A study shows that juniors and seniors who participated in undergraduate research are often moreinterested in pursuing graduate degrees than those who do not participate [7]. Similarly, in alternativeURE formats, when students collaborate and conduct research abroad, there is a common tendency toshow interest in pursuing graduate education [4].

Various studies try toinvestigate and propose methodologies to help the students benefit more from experience ofdoing research (Kardash, 2000; Kremer et al., 1990). Most of the students who are involved withresearch on their undergraduate studies, show more interest to continue researching and attendmore to graduate studies (Kardash, 2000; Laursen et al., 2010; Lopatto et al., 2010).Furthermore, for the underrepresented minority students and also women, it can provide theenvironment to interact more with the other students and scientists, helping them to thrive morein their studies and careers (Barlow et al., 2004; Eagan et al., 2011

One of the ways that engineering students are identified, or identify themselves, isthrough the values and objectives promoted by organizations that have a stake in engineeringeducation. Discourses promoted by organizations that educate and employ engineers identifywhat it means to belong to the engineering profession, what an engineer should know, whatvalues they should hold, and how they should act. These discourses can influence students’decisions to pursue and persist in engineering education as well as the kinds of careers thatstudents pursue after graduation. In this study, we examine
