Puerto Rico. The program isintended to provide students interested in graduate studies with an introduction toresearch methods, and to provide students who will not continue their studies past aBSCE with a better understanding of how research provides the theoretical foundation ofengineering practice. Students work individually with faculty on literature reviews,computer modeling, laboratory testing, and field research. Four students have researchedstructural failure case studies and the technical and ethical lessons to be learned fromthem. Participants also have the opportunity to tour construction sites and constructionmaterial manufacturers’ and fabricator’s facilities. During the past three years, an ethicsseminar series has been added. At

Intersection of Roles, Responsibilities, and Care in Engineering Graduate EducationMotivationWhether in response to the mental health crisis or the widespread inequities and discriminationwithin engineering graduate programs, the graduate engineering education community needs totake targeted action to create change and healing from standing systemic issues. Research inengineering graduate education, up to this point, has focused almost exclusively on studies ofstudent experiences, advisors, and departmental policies. Yet, the graduate education system iscomposed of many more stakeholders who impact and are impacted by graduate student mentalhealth and wellbeing.

engagement.Academics are familiar with research – systematically studying a subject to discover newinformation and gain new insights. Community engagement is less clearly understood, with morefluid boundaries. There are nuances of both a “community” and “engagement” that are salient.While communities are often thought of in terms of geographic boundaries, communities canalso be social groups with common ties that are relevant to a particular research question (e.g.,Black women faculty in engineering). Engagement can take a variety of forms, with elements ofpower, respect, privilege, and trust that are influential even if they are not acknowledged.Engagement is critical to avoid treating communities (people) as merely subjects of our research,rather ensuring

Such experience allows students andinstructors to collaboratively bridge the research and classroom and provide research experiencesfor students relative to traditional individual mentored research. Undergraduates who are involvedin research report cognitive gains such as a) learning to think and analyze, b) affective gains suchas delight, c) psychosocial gains such as belonging to a team, identifying as an effective engineer,and d) behavioral gains such as motivations to pursue graduate education or careers in engineering(Laursen et al., 2010; Lopatto and Tobias, 2010).Studies of undergraduate research experiences have been criticized for some reasons such ascounting on students to convey their own knowledge and skill gains, applying

Recognizing the need, many engineeringschools in the U.S. have started offering ethics and study abroad programs to their undergraduatestudents. Our research shows that selection of countries for study abroad programs have widenedsignificantly in the recent years. For example, in the nineties, the US Universities were offeringstudy abroad programs mostly in European and few other developed countries in the Asia pacificregion. In recent years, that list has grown significantly including many other countries aroundthe world like South Africa, Brazil, Russia, China, Chile, and India to name a few.
