graduate student participant responses to the driver experiences were listed.The analysis of the content of responses indicated three themes:a. Trust: Defined by images on two levels: acceptance of the interview process and ofautonomous features in the car (e.g. ACC). Phrases include specific mention of theconcept of comfort, determined and ready or presence of trust. She said, “I just don’ttrust myself with it.” Or, there was a suggestion of presence or lack of trust. When hewrote, “Yea, maybe not, (in reference to using cruising control). “Once I use back-upassist I will trust it so much, there will be no going back.”b. Discovery: Defined by images indicating a first time use, finding, assessing or tryingsomething new. Phrases indicated both

A mixed methods study (employing longitudinal survey dataand content analysis of team communications) of graduate student teams learning to conductauthentic interdisciplinary research tasks will provide a) new suggestions for Team Science andinterdisciplinary science training programs and b) work toward developing piloted tools for theevaluation of graduate student Team Science across institutions and disciplines. Therefore, theresearch questions this study seeks to answer are as
. When the 10-minute timer rang, all of the teams’ reports were collected and theinstructor facilitated a debriefing discussion about the ethics of data collection, including theprompts shown in Figure 4. The debriefing lasted about 30 minutes, and afterwards studentsworked in their teams to review two case studies on the ethics of data collection drawn fromwork by Branchaw, Pfund and Rediske17 and the National Academies;18 the case study handoutsused in this exercise are included as Appendix B. Approximately 30 minutes was allocated tothis review of the case studies in small groups, with a final 10-minute large group discussion onthe case study scenarios. (The remaining 10 minutes of the 90-minute seminar was used for“housekeeping” tasks like
students’research process sophistication, rather than evaluating individual traits or skills in isolation fromone another. Findings from our research suggested that the expert-novice and self-authorshipliteratures may be helpful in future analyses of research process sophistication. In our futurework, we plan to use our categorization scheme to explore potential differences in returning anddirect pathway students’ approaches to research, but it may be useful beyond the scope of ourproject. Further development of this classification systems may provide a way to track andsupport research growth in PhD programs. 1. Finke, R. A., Ward, T. B., Smith, S. M. (1996).

’ oral presentations (see Appendix B).The categories cover various aspects of the content, delivery, and slide/poster design, which arediscussed on the first day of each workshop. The instructor also fills out the same review formduring the student presentations. These forms are collected and given to the students at the endof the presentations. In addition, audience members are encouraged to provide real-time oralfeedback to the presenter directly following the presentation.In the written evaluation of these workshops, which the students complete on the final session,there is a question asking how useful they felt the peer reviews were on a scale of one to ten.Because these workshops are part of a new program that began in January 2015, they
in three categories: (a) Employability, (b) Growth ofthe knowledge economy, and (c) Government involvement and public policy. Similarly Taylor21compiled a list of forces encouraging the development of professional doctorates that includes: • A goal of increasing the number of research students • The strengthening of links to key constituencies/stakeholders • Supplying the pipeline to selected professions • Establishing a mark of prestige in areas of particular strength • The collection of fees • The opportunity to pursue doctoral study on a part time basis, i.e., while employed. • Increasing the employability of graduatesThe literature documenting the reasons for the rise of PDs was well summarized by
proposed messaging36.B. Implications for Graduate Engineering EducationThe differences between students across engineering disciplines in their employment of broaderimpacts and intellectual merit criteria indicate that each discipline has its own disciplinaryculture. Although few studies specifically study or report the disciplinary identities or visions forparticular engineering disciplines, we posit that a more thorough understanding of the ideologiesand disciplinary identities may help students select an engineering research discipline that fitstheir personal epistemologies regarding the purposes and impacts of engineering researchcareers. Although cutting-edge research is becoming increasingly inter- and multidisciplinary, itis important to
