programs excel at developingstudents’ technical expertise and research skills. The interdisciplinary nature of many STEMresearch projects means that graduate students often find themselves paired with experts fromother fields and asked to work together to solve complex problems. At Michigan StateUniversity, the College of Engineering has developed a graduate level course that helps studentsbuild professional skills (communications, teamwork, leadership) to enhance their participationin these types of interdisciplinary projects. This semester-long course also includes training onresearch mentoring, helping students work more effectively with their current faculty mentorsand build skills to serve as mentors themselves.

The final survey was created with ClassClimate®, an online survey tool.The first part was based upon a list of skills seen in Table 1. This list was developed in previousresearch through a review of advertised job solicitations for industry positions requiring anengineering Ph.D. 5, 13. The list of skills included technical skills, such as solving problems anddesigning experiments, and transferable skills (often referred to as soft skills) such ascommunication, teamwork, and professional ethics.

Results suggest that the most importantskills are learning independently, working in teams, written and oral communication, solvingproblems, and working independently. All respondents rated these as essential, with over 50%indicating that an expert skill level is needed as seen in Table 2.
