The program is focused on graduateengineering students but is open to graduate students from all programs. Students also choose mentorsfrom within and outside the university with the goal of increasing their sense of belonging to the field andtheir identities as research engineers. As part of this program, a pilot study is in progress, aimed atperforming a full-scale network analysis of student interactions.

: Influential Agents of Social Capital for Engineering Undergraduate ResearchersAbstractThe STEM education community’s research on undergraduate research experiences has shownthat participation in a research experience has a positive influence on undergraduates. This studyfocuses on determining the role of graduate student mentors in the undergraduate researchers’development of availability, access, and activation of social capital resources related to researchand academic/career plans. Using Lin’s Network Theory of Social Capital, we surveyed andinterviewed fourteen students taking part in a summer research program on a research intensiveuniversity campus.

IntroductionOne of the main objections raised by engineering and physical science graduate studentsplanning careers in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was that the typical MRI textbooks didnot give them adequate technical details. Discussions of MR physics, MRI system design, anddata collection and image generation were typically “watered-down” for casual reading, andwere inadequate for preparation for careers in MRI technical research and development.

The equivalent full-time graduate enrollment in engineering increased regularly since 1994 but dropped from859.39 students in fall 1993 to 835.83 students in fall 1994, As for the situation regarding the rate of degrees awarded, it does not seem much more brighter. Certainly, therate of degrees awarded in fust cycle studies is more stable: the students study fill-time and have a more structuredand supervised development, which allows them to finish their studies in an almost identical lapse of time (9trimesters). But the situation is not the same for research master or doctorate students: many of them abandonduring their studies, those who persevere take a lot longer time than is desirable to obtain their degree.

As such,undergraduate students have been found to highly value, and sometimes prefer, being mentoredby graduate students and postdocs [6].Existing research has primarily focused on how mentees benefit from mentoring relationships. Inrecent years, scholars have begun to also study how graduate students and postdoc mentors areaffected.

In the first year, studentsundertake a fundamental identity shift from student to researcher [1] and this can producefeelings of uncertainty leading to frustration, aka "angst"[4]. Graduate students may also becontinuing their important transition to a professional disciplinary identity as expected inundergraduate programs [3].

Students from different disciplines will take a slightly dissimilarangle to develop solutions. Second, placing the students on a team creates an interactive group.This allows for a cross-functional project team. Third, as the team members work together, theytake a wider scope of understanding and appreciation of how their individual discipline supportsthe research.
