Persistence in Engineering Graduate Programs: The Role of the Emic and Etic Adaptive Strengths

Education Policy Seminar

Dr. Burt's program of research uses qualitative methodological approaches to study the experiences of graduate students, and the institutional policies and practices that influence students’ educational and workforce pathways. His current research projects fall in two strands: 1) exploring the experiences of underrepresented graduate students of color in engineering; and, 2) understanding the science of team science. Through this program of research, Brian seeks to provide new understandings of the complexity of science participation; the aim is to better understand the experiences that promote or turn students away from science pathways.
