Because career options are dependent uponsuccess in graduate school, preparing for academic employment begins immediately for doctoralstudents. While their article presents general advice for students to begin a research career inacademia, this paper serves a different population: doctoral students who want an academiccareer at a teaching-oriented school.Other resources exist for job hunters, such as the article by Mullenax

Beyond that, it seemsreasonable to infer that the categories of “hard” vs. “soft” appealed because they reflected abinary, hierarchical framework in which the “hard” (STEM) disciplines were superior, evenwhen the outcomes grounded in the HSS outnumbered those developed through STEM. 4 Figure 1: Results by Year for PEER Search of “Soft Skills” 1996-2020.• 2020 (124)• 2019 (116)• 2018 (100) Leadership Development in Engineering

There have been several reportson the need to reform engineering and computer science education6,7, as well as reports on thetransformative power of early curriculum redesign efforts in this field8. As part of thistransformation, the gap between teaching methods and practitioner’s skills can be addressed, atleast in part, through new teaching models such as flipped classrooms9,10 and increasedacademic partnerships (the latter have also been shown to help foster interdisciplinaryeducation).In this paper, we discuss a new undergraduate

Older solar batterychargers were mainly developed for stationary situations such as solar house and RVs. Lead acidbatteries are usually used because light weight is not a major factor to consider. However, sincethe appearance of the foldable and light weight solar panels, the need to develop solar batterychargers for more portable batteries such as Nickel metal hydrid (NiMH) and Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries becomes essential.Previous work has been done to compare battery charging algorithms for stand alonephotovoltaic systems [3].
