Zerbe, Ellen; Sallai, Gabriella; Berdanier, Catherine G. P. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: While researchers in graduate engineering education are beginning to study facets of student experiences as they relate to attrition and persistence, theoretical applications of thriving theory have not been applied to graduate education contexts. Literature addresses students who persist and those who depart, inherently making…

Sallai, Gabriella M.; Bahnson, Matthew; Shanachilubwa, Kanembe; Berdanier, Catherine G. P. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: While previous work in higher education documents the impact of high tuition costs of attending graduate school as a key motivator in attrition decisions, in engineering, most graduate students are fully funded on research fellowships, indicating there are different issues causing individuals to consider departure. There has been…

Shanachilubwa, Kanembe; Sallai, Gabriella; Berdanier, Catherine G. P. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2023
Background: While studies examining graduate engineering student attrition have grown more prevalent, there is an incomplete understanding of the plight faced by persisting students. As mental health and well-being crises emerge in graduate student populations, it is important to understand how students conceptualize their well-being in relation…

Zerbe, Ellen; Sallai, Gabriella M.; Shanachilubwa, Kanembe; Berdanier, Catherine G. P. – Journal of Engineering Education, 2022
Background: While attrition from the PhD has been attributed to many high-level causal factors, such as funding, advisor relationship, and "fit" into a department, few studies have closely examined the mechanisms of attrition or why and how graduate engineering students begin to consider attrition from their doctoral programs.…
