, three doctoral programs have been launched at Boise State University. Thefirst doctoral program established was in Electrical and Computer Engineering, selected becauseof the need for a trained workforce in the region. The other two doctoral programs, MaterialsScience and Engineering, and Computing, were from the start designed as interdisciplinarydegree programs. That is, they were designed for the participation of not just program facultywithin the division, but for the participation of program faculty with related research interests inother departments at the university. This paper presents the steps taken to launch the programs,lessons learned in initiating and administering the programs, best practices undertaken, andchallenges faced by

Engaging Freshmen Women in Research – Feedback from Students and Best Practices for FacultyIntroductionIncreasing the participation of diverse populations in engineering and technology fields is achallenge for many universities. A significant means to address this issue is to increase theparticipation of women students. However, this can prove to be challenging. In a studyconducted by Marra and Bogue,1 it was found that although women engineering students enterthe university with high levels of self-confidence and self-esteem, those levels decline quicklyduring the first year. They also found through their research, that the initial levels were neverregained. One method to help retain diversity in engineering and technology

In a design process, ideageneration and development are important steps that contribute to the innovative designoutcomes [3].

in graduateschool [15]– [4], very few scholars in engineering education research have characterizedstudents' expectations of graduate school and how these expectations do not align with their livedexperiences. Previous work has neglected the impact of misalignments between expectations andexperiences on students' ability to persist, except for Zerbe and Sallai's paper [17]. They foundmisalignments in students' expectations on the psychological level, such as feelings of malaise,the anticipation of being overworked, and the expectation of not having a work-life balance.However, less attention was paid to sociological or policy expectations or misalignments.The present work builds on our group's ongoing exploration of graduate attrition.
