They conclude that qualitative approaches would be useful to understand theirobservation that formally mentored faculty had higher numbers of publications.The current study uses self-efficacy for research, teaching, and mentoring graduate students as aproxy for faculty development. Self-efficacy has been shown to be a predictor of actual behavior,although as the above studies show, “self-efficacy” can be highly contextual, specific, and nuanced(Bandura, 1997). Research has repeatedly shown links between self-efficacy and researchproductivity. Wester et al (2019) found significant and moderate correlations between facultyproductivity and self-efficacy for general and quantitative research

This study is designed as an embedded exploratory mixedmethods study of current graduate engineering students and recent non-completers that seek toanswer the following research questions: 1. How do graduate students at various stages in their PhD programs in engineering perceive the role of academic writing as it relates to academic socialization and success in future academic careers? 2. How are these perceptions different or similar for graduate students who are considering leaving or have left their
