Engagement Data from U.S. World News Report Regarding Online Graduate Engineering Programs Over the past decade, online education has become much more prevalent, enabling workingprofessionals to earn advanced degrees without ever stepping foot on a traditional brick-and-mortar campus. Although convenient for employers and employees, there remain a number ofquestions regarding effectiveness and quality of distance instruction as compared to that offeredin traditional classrooms. As indicated by many studies exploring student and educatorperceptions regarding distance education [1] [2] [3] [4], the potential for greater convenience,autonomy, and affordability render it ideal for many students. However, a persistent

In recent decades, workforce needs and theemployment landscape for STEM graduates has experienced fundamental changes in scale andscope. While the number of STEM-related jobs has risen significantly [1], [2] the range of STEMcareers has also expanded sharply [1], [2] . In the recent National Academies of Sciences,Engineering, and Medicine study report focused on Graduate STEM education for the 21st century[3], the authors observe that “Indeed, recent surveys of employers and graduates and studies ofgraduate education suggest that many graduate programs do not adequately prepare students totranslate their knowledge into impact in multiple careers.” In spite of the

as the key to solving important technical researchproblems. This has been the motivation for interdisciplinary graduate programs such as thosefunded through IGERT at the U.S. National Science Foundation. However, interdisciplinarytraining is also cited as a career risk to students who might not be able to find faculty positions ifnot grounded in a traditional discipline. To explore the legitimacy of these beliefs related tointerdisciplinary faculty openings, we analyzed 743 interdisciplinary academic job postingsappearing in the Chronicle of Higher Education over a six-month period. We found that overall,less than 7% of all faculty postings are for interdisciplinary positions, but within engineering,10.7% of the open positions are
