It is stillunclear, however, to the extent which of these concepts are present in current surveys used toassess graduate student mental health. The research question guiding this study is, Whatunderlying factors are important when looking at the mental health of science, engineering, andmathematics graduate students?This study will look specifically at the Healthy Minds Study (HMS), conducted by the HealthyMinds Network (HMN): Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health group, to tryand

challenges faced byinternational students during the journey from the beginning of graduate study to graduation aremaking student life more stressful than is necessary. Due to newly introduced policy issues, rulesand regulations, students are finding their time usurped by government bureaucracy and are thusless focused on research goals and academic study. It is important for faculty mentors to be wellinformed of potential challenges in advance; this will enable them to help new internationalstudents navigate the system and achieve their goals. In this paper, a team of an internationalgraduate student and faculty seek to develop resources for potential faculty mentors and graduatestudents at institutions within North America. The goal will be to a

Academic Careers AbstractFor students graduating with a Ph.D. in engineering today and opting for an academiccareer, the path to eventual promotion and tenure is likely to be long and difficult. Whilenew Ph.D.s may understand the importance of continuing to do cutting-edge research,establishing a solid funding record, and obtaining strong teaching recommendations,there are many other factors important to career success of which they may be unaware.For example, they may have little knowledge of how formal promotion and tenure rulesmay be interpreted by their colleagues, what an annual performance evaluation reallymeans, how to establish a good network of mentors with whom to discuss importantcareer decisions

Since eachstudent can access the Internet at their own convenience, there are no restrictions with respect tothe time or location to reach students, in contrast to past studies in our program1 that used fixeddistribution and collection points. Additionally, online surveys allow geographically distantrespondents to be reached, increasing the population available to be surveyed. This is importantin graduate programs where it is not uncommon for students to leave for days or weeks to go toconferences or perform research in the field or distant laboratories and hence, making it difficultto reach out to these students if survey distribution were done in the traditional way.

graduate level, many faculty still face the profound—andtime consuming—challenge of not only correcting the writing of their international students, butalso elevating their written language to a level acceptable in graduate studies. As is argued in thispaper, the origin of the previously mentioned pedagogical challenge faced by graduate faculty isthree-fold: the majority of second language writing curricula at higher education institutions donot emphasize the advanced, technical, and discipline-specific composition skills nor theelevated vocabulary indispensable to international graduate students to successfully navigate theacademic and scholarly research environment; many supervisors, committee members, andgraduate faculty often lack the time to

And of course, there is also a tension between makingsure the plan of study has adequate development of technical skills: the limited numberof courses in a master’s plan of study may leave little room for allowing or requiringadditional courses in professional skills.ConclusionRecent research suggests that professional skills are very important for the success ofcollege graduates, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

There havebeen several studies on returning graduate or undergraduate students in other disciplines thatprovide some insight into the experiences of these students. Existing studies within and outsideof engineering also point to some differences in the motivations and needs of returners comparedto direct-pathway students. Returning students are often more goal-oriented14,15, more motivatedand mature, have stronger teamwork skills16, and generally display a high work ethic15.However, returners have reported struggles

One of these groups may be a returner students’ group;however, aside from such networking groups, there are no large-scale organized efforts to assistreturning students in dealing with these challenges, and due to the lack of research into suchstudents, it is currently unknown what types of programs might be most effective.Research MethodsParticipants.

Such an experience trains graduatestudents to carry out research on a problem someone else has defined and gotten funded.
