, which Spitzer and others call for,requires purposeful, planned transformation to develop graduate education as an integrated system forlifelong learning that is concurrent with the working professional’s on-going practice of engineering inindustry. Determining the specifications for integrated professional curricula requires that a cleardistinction be made between the differences of traditional research-based graduate education for academicscientific research and that of practice-based professional graduate education for technology developmentand engineering leadership of systematic innovation in industry. We believe that the characteristics thatdifferentiate these two types of graduate studies can be distinguished best by using modern

I found a limited availability of seminars or classes for preparing engineeringgraduate students for teaching an engineering course for the first time. Engineeringdepartments should provide more information and assistance to their graduate assistantson how to teach an engineering class.Concluding Comments by the Faculty AdvisorWhile increasingly in recent years the emphasis for faculty seems to less on teaching andmore on research, the basic premise continues that a faculty member is a teacher.

However, fellowshipstypically represent a small fraction of graduate student support. Teaching assistants are alsodesirable since their objective is to teach. However, most departments/colleges/universities willnot have resources available to support additional “non-required” teaching assistants.

research [1].People (rather than instructional resources) in general, have been shown to play a very large partin helping students begin their research. However, in a 2011 study that surveyed of 382 facultymentors, many reported apathy or antipathy toward seeking out or attending training on theinformation literacy behaviors which would help them stay up to date on research methods andtools across the research lifecycle [2]. This likely contributes to the fact that many students (907surveyed in the same 2011 study) report that their faculty mentors do not provide adequatesupport [2]. This leaves engineering graduate students often learning research skills ad hoc, evenin very well-resourced institutions. Librarians often receive specialized
