While past research discusses what does anddoesn’t work, from the perspective of faculty and the department, they leave out an importantviewpoint by not including the perspective of the student researcher.In this work, the authors fill that knowledge

Theanalyses revealed limited evidence of reliability and validity of social engagement measures.Related to the importance of peer-related social engagement for student success, engineering orSTEM-related social engagement was more frequently observed as a significant variable thannon-engineering related/general social engagement. The construct of social engagement is alsofound to be more important among traditionally underrepresented groups

maintaining these relationships. In addition to their research mentoringrelationships, they also have to balance their personal and professional life, while carrying outtheir research. Because of their many responsibilities, it is not surprising that graduate studentsoften have a poor work-life balance, which has been linked to their poor mental health status [6].This decline in mental health can negatively impact their ability to carry out their work andpersist within their program [7], while simultaneously impacting their overall self-awareness.The increase in studies within the last five years shows that graduate students’ mental andphysical wellness is a growing problem [6], [8], [9], [10].

These needs may be “unarticulated”, however, and it takes experiencedprofessionals to sort out the needs from the fads. Our experienced adjunct faculty and industryadvisors have done an excellent job at identifying the real needs, and of transforming ideas intopractice. This is particularly true in the area of medical device graduate education. In fact,students have also helped in shaping the program.

given theresearcher’s role as the “instrument” of analysis [21]. Just as in technical engineering whereinstudents are taught to consider how their instrumentation might affect the system they are tryingto measure; narrative researchers must consider how their identities influence not just theanalysis of the data but also its collection. For example, in a study focused on gathering theexperiences of graduate students, a researcher should consider that students are more likely toshare their authentic thoughts and experiences when interviewed by a peer as opposed to afaculty member around whom their communications are likely to be more restrained.
