The program includes a multidisciplinary core, a technology-based concentration, andthesis/project practicum. The intent of introducing the program is to integrate different disciplineswithin the College of Technology and provide a degree program to integrate the knowledgecontent, skills, and experiences of today’s professionals.Bibliography1.

The graduate student has to work with others, do part of the work, incorporatehis/her ideas and the ideas of other people in their group, and give the results to others to analyzeand comment on. The student may have more than one supervisor, so s/he will need to allowenough time to make corrections and then turn in a final report. It is important to be able toprioritize the tasks according to their urgency and be organized. Being organized can providedmany advantages in making sure all the requirements are met in a timely fashion.Because of time constraints, the graduate student needs to understand the industry’s research orproject faster to obtain results in a short period of

After a second period of growth in the mid-80s, 42,637 research doctorates wereawarded by 1986. From 1998-2002, the number of doctorates awarded each year generallydeclined and reached a low point in 2002.By 2006, an all-time high number of doctorates was awarded in the U.S.5 In science andengineering (S&E) fields, this growth was due in large part to degrees awarded to internationalstudents, many who came to the U.S. to study following World War II6. In 2006, U.S. citizensreceived 63% of all research and 56% of S&E doctorates. The percentage of U.S. citizens whoearned a doctorate in engineering was the lowest with

Many of the questionsfrom the pre-experience survey were repeated in the post-experience survey, which alloweddirect comparison of individual answers across the 10-week program. The post-survey alsoincluded a set of open ended questions:  What part(s) of the summer program did you find most valuable or helpful?  What part(s) of the summer program did you find least valuable or helpful?  Please share any

This within-group differentiation appears to be grounded in fairly routine experiencesas a member of an under-represented group in a STEM field. Ironically, despite the clear disempoweringimpact that these experiences can have, there is also some evidence that they may promote thedevelopment of alternative value structures and feelings of purpose related to STEM fields for membersof underrepresented groups. 15ReferencesAlexander, C.
