In the course of obtaining a doctorate degree,an individual does not necessarily acquire all the skills to be an effective teacher, activeresearcher and good academic citizen1: expectations of any new faculty member. The road tobecoming an efficient and effective professor is a deliberate one that requires planning.However, some essential skills can be picked up during graduate studies such as research skills 2through RA assignments and a few teaching skills through

Theauthors of scholarly publications bear the responsibility for adhering to ethical norms,including those related to authorship and attribution, disclosure of conflict of interest,and the integrity of the peer-review process.

Participants includedteachers from the local school district (N=20) working in pairs, each assigned to a pair of full-time engineering graduate student researchers (N=20) (henceforth, GAs). Data were derivedfrom two years of implementation with different participants, from the years 2018 and 2019.Participant perspectives were captured in a series of daily activity logs. The teacher activity logasked them to: 1) describe their work in the lab, 2) indicate the number of hours they worked, 3)rate their involvement in the work (4pt; 1-minimally to 4-extensively), and 4) rate
