graduate students in science and engineering graduate programs (Litzler, Lange, &Brainard, 2005), and have found differences in how they experience the climate with regard topeer interactions. For example, peer interactions and incidents of racial bias increased stress forstudents of color, in turn impacting retention and persistence (Johnson et al, 2014). Literature does point to the challenges that international engineering students face whenattending graduate school in terms of climate as it relates to faculty and peer interactions(Amirali & Bakken, 2015; Constantine et al., 2005; Curtin, Stewart, & Ostrove, 2013; Erichson& Bollinger, 2011; Kuo, 2013). In addition, studies do compare domestic majority and domesticminority
