Graduate students are also not as studied as theirundergraduate counterparts in terms of mental well-being (Cranford, Eisen-berg, and Serras 2009; Levecque et al. 2017; Liu et al. 2019; Nature Editorials2019; Paglis, Green, and Bauer 2006; Schlosser et al. 2011; Sverdlik et al. 2018;Waldeck et al. 1997).

The second strategy is the use ofBoolean operators such as AND/OR and specific keywords to diminish or broaden search results.This strategy allows for a more detailed analysis of the articles being given without having to siftthrough a mountainous amount of these articles. However, depending on the database used, aBoolean operator is not as reliable due to inconsistencies in the proper usage of AND, OR, andapostrophes. The third strategy is the use of a filter to sift through the culminated articles/papersto acquire articles/papers that would be useful to the analysis or discussion at hand. For example,after

Further, theneed for more successful propagation has also been highlighted by an ASEE report [11] that included anappeal to funding agencies to use resources to propagate better efforts that have proven successful.Although educational innovations have been produced over the past few decades, Rogers highlights aneed for knowledge of how to implement the innovation correctly and a lack of underlying

For academic year 2018-2019, the course averaged 4.11on a 5 scale. This was the transitionary year.

Soon after, the call forpapers for the ASEE 2024 conference emerged. Inspired by a previous lab mate's research work inthe lab focused on autoethnography, Mary decided to participate in the conference by sharing partsof her journey given the call to support and retain Black graduate students in engineering.To decide on what area of her experience she would share using autoethnography, Mary siftedthrough her journals and secondary archives, such as emails, WhatsApp messages, and pictures.This process led her to formulate research questions focusing on her challenges

Overall, we know that at least40% of all doctoral students do not complete their programs, and much of this attrition could beprevented and is not reflective of student capability [8].Simultaneously, doctoral degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) continue to be disproportionately awarded to white students. In the 2019-20 academicyear, 71.3% of all STEM doctoral degrees awarded to U.S. citizens and permanent residentswere awarded to white students, even though the U.S. population is approximately 59.3% white.Only 4.3
