This paper only described the evaluation method and no results were presented. • One NRT studied 12 participants in their 3rd, 4th and 5th year of graduate studies (Denton & Borrego) via semi-structured interviews of 10-40 minutes in length, focusing on the influence of the NRT over their career preparation and choices. Among participants, they found a lack of stigma around non-academic career paths, which was credited to the interaction of NRT students with non-academic entities through internships and capstone design projects outside of academia. Students were

The design of the literature review and the other parts of the Master’spaper to be audience-specific and to make a research argument is incorporated into the writingclass which most online MSME students choose to take. Therefore, the emphasis is not on themaster’s paper as a “capstone report” but is designed to teach students to write for thedisciplinary community, anticipating the needs and expectations of that community, andtranslating the motivation, methods, and results of the project effectively through that lens. Theauthenticity of this experience and evidence of students’ development of academic literacies isdemonstrated in the fact that to date, 15

However, simply discussing expectations and work preferencesopenly during recruiting phases can give students and advisors better information on which tobase their decisions. Another tool that participants suggested was to hold a seminar series aboutgraduate school as part of an undergraduate capstone course. Prospective students will thenunderstand what is expected of them before beginning a research project with the advisor.Knowing what is expected of the student before beginning research will limit the number ofcases where they subsequently leave the group due to a mismatch between student and advisorexpectations. Participants also suggested that even if advisor and group expectations are madeclear

TheSwanson School of Engineering has made curricular moves that require students to see theimportance of research and writing in learning about engineering and the importance ofcommunication to engineering excellence even beyond the college years.However, successful engineers must also rely on strong communication skills in nearly everyaspect of their work [2, 3]. Currently, engineering curricula prepare students for the job market‘stechnical writing demands, but do they equip students with the necessary public speaking orleadership

Assessment must be actually viewed as acommunity effort or nothing. Assessment must be driven by a faculty's owncommitment to reflect, react, innovate and improve.
