AB  - Graduate degree attainment is impacted by a variety of personal and environmental factors. Recent studies have called attention to cultural and demographic characteristics that can impact the degree attainment of various subsets of the engineering graduate student body. Studies have shown that international students in STEM disciplines enter into graduate school with different expectations for faculty advisor support and peer interaction. At the same time, international graduate students face cultural and identity issues as they transition to an educational environment in the United States. Research has also highlighted differences between domestic racial and ethnic minority graduate students and white domestic majority peers in terms of feelings of a sense of belonging. STEM disciplines that are looking to build an inclusive climate need information that can inform support programs for students and faculty training that addresses the needs of many different majority and minority student populations, both domestic and international. This paper will discuss findings of a recent climate survey conducted in a College of Engineering at a Research I institution that confirm earlier research, pointing to differences in international and domestic student expectations for faculty and student interactions. Findings also highlight differences between majority and minority domestic engineering graduate students with regard to personal support networks and how they impact graduate school success. Results from open-ended survey items provide additional detail about cultural factors that impact international students’ graduate experiences. Faculty and university administrators can use the results of this study to consider programmatic interventions that can build an inclusive climate that addresses the needs of many sub-sets of the graduate student population and can help facilitate graduate degree attainment.
