These changes included: ● Creation of a pre-class/-lab assignment ● In-class/-lab discussions ● Collaborative creation of team and Class/Lab RulesAt the core of these course additions were case studies related to diversity and inclusion issuespresented at the STEM diversity forum. Students were tasked to read the case studies, reflect onquestion prompts and submit their ideas towards the creation of team or class rules that could beput in place to prevent the situation or what action they would take if they witness similarsituations on their own team or another team.

To gain further insight, students in the test cohort also generated "userprofiles" of a high-school students, listing their needs if they were to go to college along withtheir concerns. The resulting profiles, focusing on a range of social factors related to learningmotivation, underscore the need for outreach activities to incorporate a systems approach,simultaneously leveraging the multitude of factors that contribute to academic resilience.

Thesemetrics, however, have limited correlation to success in graduate school. Moreover, based on a2008 Council of Graduate Schools study, only about 50% of PhD students in science completetheir degree in seven years

Therefore, focusing ongraduate students' experiences of professional identities could have a significant impact onengineering education [11], [12].This research explores the professional academic identities of "teacher" and "researcher" asexperienced by an engineering educator filling dual roles as a graduate student and full-timeacademic faculty. Specifically, this study aims to investigate both facets of professional identityin tandem, unlike many studies of graduate students that look at one or the other in isolation [13],[14]. Also, many studies of professional identity in graduate students take an etic viewpoint of anoutsider to the phenomenon [15].
