Call for Participation of a Research Study of Recent Engineering Graduates[v2]

This is a Call for Participation for an ongoing research study at Stanford Center for Design Research, Mechanical Engineering Department in collaboration with Psychology Department, Stanford University.

We are recruiting recent graduates who have received an advanced degree in engineering disciplines and worked in industry for less than two years. Participants will be reimbursed for $99 for their time of participation and will receive an individual report about the research findings for their support to the research. The individual privacy will be maintained throughout and after the research study.

The aim of the study is to understand the work and learning experiences of recent engineering graduates. The study has practical implications for how to better support the emotional needs and growth experiences of new engineering graduates.

The participation is expected to last for three months and involves:

- a short pre-study survey that contains questions about demographics and backgrounds;
- one pre-study and one post-study interviews;
-two short 5-minute weekly surveys to track engineers’ experiences over time.
Participation in the study is expected to be a rewarding experience for the participants.

In case of interest in being a participant or having any questions, you can contact Xiao Ge at xiaog@stanford.edu or 765-586-1351. Alternatively, potential participants can fill out this pre-study survey linked HERE: https://gse.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7X6RhHcZ5wBy6t8.
