AC 2011-1396: ATTRIBUTES OF SUCCESS FOR ENGINEERING PH.D.S:PERSPECTIVES FROM ACADEMIA AND INDUSTRYMonica Farmer Cox, Purdue University, West Lafayette Monica F. Cox, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue Univer- sity. She obtained a B.S. in mathematics from Spelman College, a M.S. in industrial engineering from the University of Alabama, and a Ph.D. in Leadership and Policy Studies from Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. Teaching interests relate to the professional development of graduate engineering students and to leadership, policy, and change in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education. Pri- mary research projects explore the preparation of
alloys and appropriate sensing technology for use in biomedical implant and otherdevice applications. The team builds on distinct and complementary technical strengths of thecore partners: materials engineering and nanotechnology at NCAT, bioengineering and materialsscience at Pitt, and corrosion science, sensor development and medical science at UC. NCAT has baccalaureate through doctoral degree programs in mechanical, industrial andelectrical engineering, and bachelor’s through master’s programs in other engineeringdisciplines. In the past, NCAT did not have any degree offerings in the bioengineering domain.One of the overarching educational promises of the ERC-RMB was to leverage thecomplementary strengths of the partners to aid in the

the change and technology. The market will demandindividuals with these skills, competencies, and personal convictions to create the changesnecessary to achieve an environmentally sustainable future.Industrial designers apply specific problem-solving processes to develop ideas. Classmates andcolleagues inexperienced with design are unfamiliar with this style of development, such assketching ideas, making mock-ups, producing engineering and illustrative graphics, creatingmodels of a project, and problem solving methodologies applied. A specific area of difficultyexperienced by many students in this environment is honest verbal and written critique of ideasfor fear of criticism. The critique process is particularly challenging, as students from

We anticipate that byintroducing new engineering educators to these two
