. One flyer, labeled “Get Your PhD For Free,” laid out funding options for PhD studentsand ways to obtain them. We were surprised to learn how many undergraduate students were notaware of the funding that comes with getting a PhD in an engineering discipline, and this flyergenerated great interest. All newly developed materials were utilized in each component of theoverall strategy, and in other forms of advertisement commonly utilized across higher education(such as ASEE First Bell).Digital MarketingAs marketing of services through digital technologies continues to show success in acceleratingproduct value to consumers (i.e. the value of a particular educational program to prospectivestudents), we enlisted the help of a world-renowned

Literature review included traditionalengineering education sources such as ASEE proceedings and JEE papers, but also included thereview of websites of many university-level centers for teaching and learning. These includedresources that broadened the scope of the literature to include education research and scholarshipbeyond the STEM domain, and were rich sources of

developers invariably envision a particular client group to serve as target forthe program that they are developing. Typically, their view of this group is one characterized bya set of characteristics that include assumptions of need, student goals, age and experience, andlocation among others. Of course, other important factors are also considered during newprogram design. These include institutional and originating department missions, geographicregion served, perceptions of need, advisory council input, leadership directions and more.In prior papers, delivered at the 2016[5] and 2019[6] ASEE conferences the authors addressedthe development process for the recently approved Doctor of Technology (DTech) offered by thePolytechnic Institute at Purdue

engagementDiscovery has completed six terms of program delivery, with total secondary school studentparticipation now exceeding 500. Our previous analysis focused on beneficial outcomes tosecondary student participants [13, 14]. Concurrently, we now share the multi-factorialopportunities to teaching skill development through this model. Both qualitative and quantitativeoutcomes suggest Discovery is having significant impact both on graduate (and undergraduate)student instructor development of professional skills, as well as secondary school studentengagement in STEM.Instructor participationDuring the first 6 semesters of programming (2017-2019; Spring & Fall each year), 93 universitystudent trainees engaged as program instructors, with 24 trainees acting

President, Dr. Stephanie Adams,highlighted this issue, making graduate education a key initiative for ASEE in 2019 [5].Published studies of students in engineering doctoral programs in relation to professionaldevelopment tend to focus on the research experiences [6, 7] with an emphasis on theknowledge, skills, and abilities gained or on how students’ research skills change over time [8].However, the important question of how effectively the research experiences of engineeringPh.D. students prepare them for professional practice remains largely unanswered. In order tostrengthen the quality of research on engineering Ph.D. students are being prepared forprofessional practice, there is a need for high-quality assessments designed and

relevant to the subject.Reflection on Critical Thinking for Graduate Students and the Adaptability of ThisImplementation in Other SettingsCritical thinking is a skill highly valued in both undergraduate and graduate education. Thenational studies cited at the beginning of this paper indicate that imparting these skills is notconsistent nationwide, and furthermore that critical thinking skills are assumed to developorganically in graduate education. A search of ASEE conference papers since 1997 showed 98contributions with “critical thinking” as a theme, surely an indication of the importance of thesubject. Fewer than 10 of these dealt with graduate education, however. As far as the
