这篇正在进行的研究论文旨在阐明激励少数民族学生攻读博士学位的原因。工程学学位。因此，本研究调查的动机，URM学生给他们的决定因素，追求博士学位。我们研究的问题：如何URM的学生描述他们的决定攻读博士学位的工程学科？为了探索我们的问题，我们进行了修改接地理论分析的调查数据收集从51 URM学生在夏季研讨会举行之前，他们各自的计划开始。他们对开放式问题的回答和其他上下文细节构成了我们数据样本的基础。我们多样化的样本包括来自不同工程学科以及不同种族和民族背景的学生代表。本研究运用社会认知生涯理论（SCCT）的原理，分析了环境变量、个人结果期望等因素对学生攻读博士学位的影响。这项工作的下一步将采用SCCT，因为我们可以更深入地了解学生的动机，并确定在他们的决策过程中发挥重要作用的因素。在这一领域的持续工作可以提供深入了解如何URM学生可以在他们的学位支持工程研究生课程是有价值的。
This Work in Progress Research paper aims to shed light on the reasons that inspire minoritized students to pursue a Ph.D. degree in engineering. Thus, this study investigates the motivations that URM students give as their deciding factors for pursuing doctoral degrees. We examine the research question: How do URM students describe their decision to pursue a doctorate in an engineering discipline? To explore our question, we conducted a modified grounded theory analysis of survey data collected from 51 URM students during a summer workshop held prior to the commencement of their respective programs. Their answers to open-ended questions and other contextual details formed the basis of our data sample. Our diverse sample includes representations of students from various engineering disciplines as well as various racial and ethnic backgrounds. Our study employs the principles of Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) to analyze the environmental variables, personal outcome expectations, and other factors that influence students' decisions to pursue a doctoral degree in their respective fields. Next steps of this work will employ SCCT, as we can gain a deeper understanding of students' motivations and identify the factors that play a significant role in their decision-making processes. Continuing work in this area can be valuable to engineering graduate programs by providing insights into how URM students can be supported throughout their degrees.
