Led by the cohort instructor, it discussesprofessional topics such as ethics and career paths, covers research preparation includingliterature searching, research group dynamics and problem solving, has the students practice oraland written communication skills, and, importantly, introduces the student to various researchopportunities in the Department. After selecting three labs to investigate and visit, studentschoose a research project that becomes the basis for their senior thesis and then their master'sthesis. Table II is a partial list of the topics covered in this second-year cohort seminar. Table II – Topics Covered in the 2nd Year Cohort Seminar

This independent workdistinguishes those with a graduate degree as one who can think independently and can expressthose thoughts in a coherent manner. The technical gains that are made in the pursuit of thegraduate education make clear the limits of engineering analysis and design. This instills a betterunderstanding of the ethical responsibilities associated with creating solutions for the public.
