, three doctoral programs have been launched at Boise State University. Thefirst doctoral program established was in Electrical and Computer Engineering, selected becauseof the need for a trained workforce in the region. The other two doctoral programs, MaterialsScience and Engineering, and Computing, were from the start designed as interdisciplinarydegree programs. That is, they were designed for the participation of not just program facultywithin the division, but for the participation of program faculty with related research interests inother departments at the university. This paper presents the steps taken to launch the programs,lessons learned in initiating and administering the programs, best practices undertaken, andchallenges faced by

immediately upon graduation. While excellent for its intended purpose of ‘scientific discovery’, investigation, and ‘inquiry’, the National Collaborative Task Force concludes that traditional research- oriented M.S. and Ph.D. graduate education does not meet the full professional spectrum of educational needs or reflect the ‘engineering method’ of creative engineering practice for the majority of the nation’s engineers, who are not pursuing research-careers of scientific investigation and inquiry, but rather who, as working professionals, are pursuing the creative practice of engineering in industry for technology-development and innovation. For these engineers, a different approach and educational method is needed

We were able to notonly practice talking about our research to others but we were able to see how we progressedthroughout the semester.’Summary and outlookThe initial offering of the course in Spring 2016 attracted 13 engineering graduate students fromfour disciplines and introduced them to the notion of broader impacts and underscored the valueof engaging in activities to achieve specific societal outcomes. Student feedback from this initialoffering was very positive. The course has already achieved impact by enabling students toimplement their project

Over three-quarters of the total themes for biomedicalengineering are focused on intellectual merits despite the clear linkage for most biomedicalresearch to impact the lives or well-being of whole groups of people. One reason for thisdiscrepancy may be that they felt like the broader impact to affect humans was so obvious theyneed not discuss it explicitly within the paragraphs that discuss explicit impacts of the projects.Another alternative explanation is a potential need to maintain engineering “rigor,”understanding that human-centered research may be considered outside the typical

States invested wisely in research-oriented graduate education and has become preeminent in basic university research that advances science and benefits the scientific workforce for discovery. But a parallel investment and balanced emphasis has not been made in professional graduate engineering education during this same time frame to support the continued development of the U.S. engineering workforce in industry for technology development and innovation. One-size in graduate education doesn’t fit all. Excellence in basic research and in the practice of engineering for world-class technology development and innovation are two very different pursuits.
