Such mentoring relationships facilitated professionaldevelopment and authentic engagement for novice faculty and helped reduce the uncomfortablefeeling of “imposter syndrome” in the new field of inquiry. A key observation of the literature summarily described shows that extant studies primarilyfocus on faculty development. Worldwide, numerous graduate programs focusing on engineeringeducation have been established, which ushers in the argument that graduate students could alsobenefit from such formal or informal communities outside their programs [3].

Additionally, as engineering generally follows the“science model of advising”, where advising relationships are characterized by closecollaboration in research projects [6], [8], this relationship becomes a critical contextual to astudent’s success. Thus, the purpose of this study is to develop a survey instrument that can serveas a tool to relate engineering graduate students’ thesis self-efficacy to their perception of theiradvisor’s support. Drawing on previous work that explored the constructs of “Dissertation Self-efficacy” [13] and a student’s perceptions of “Advisor Behavior” [8], the development of

In our case, we saw how tracing loci of refinement represented onemeans of identifying important dimensions of the learning experiences being studied. Once adimension would be identified, then it could be further interrogated to see the kinds of wisdomthat over-time refinements offer. This concept of locus of refinement was thus our point ofdeparture. Because we were not yet convinced that every variation could be claimed asrefinements, we chose to focus on
