Watson, Joy L.; Gatzke, Ed P.; Lyons, Jed S.
Chemical Engineering Education, v46 n2 p89-96 Spr 2012
A seminar course was developed for engineering doctoral students to obtain an awareness of the industrial research environment, non-technical skills desired by industry and how to find a position within industry. Data was collected through seminar observations, students' two-page reflection paper, and an online survey administered to students participating in the seminar course. Students indicated that they were more aware of career options and the skills they need in an industrial research environment.
