AB  - International graduate students in engineering and science deal with cultural shock as they navigate and try to adapt to a new educational system in the United States of America (US) [1]. Many international graduate students deal with multiple challenges which some of their US national peers may not deal with [2]. For different reasons, graduate students may request to change from one research group to another [3]. Switching their research lab is complicated, often bringing many unknowns for the student. However, the experiences warranting a change and transitioning from one research group to another, often filled with trauma and stress, are peculiar for international students. With the additional challenges they have already been facing on campus, switching from one research lab to another puts more challenges on the everyday lives of international graduate students. International students, who join a new research lab and try to balance their research, course studies, and daily lives, have yet to be given a voice in the literature. We do not know the international graduate students’ lived experiences in the new laboratories as they try to transition to the new lab’s research work, cultural norms, and social interactions. In this phenomenological study, we describe the lived experiences of international graduate students as they pursue their academic and scholarship goals in a new research lab they switched to.
