Questionnaire On the blank piece of paper you just received, write down one (anonymous) question you have about graduate school. If you have no questions about graduate school, write one about ice cream.

Which path will you choose? Are you here? (again?)

Which path will you choose? Which career path will you choose? Job Mart Grad School

Why Graduate School? Additional formal education Entry point for your career path Career in research Career in academia More marketable in job search Greater earning potential

Which path will you choose? Still more options!

Which graduate track will you choose? Thesis Non-Thesis

Two Main Options  Non-Thesis Track (Masters of Engineering (Masters of Engineering Degree “MEng”) Degree “MEng”)  Thesis Track (Masters of Science (Masters of Science Degree “MS”) Degree “MS”)

Non-Thesis Option  Master of Engineering - Course work only - 30 semester hours - 12 months (full-time) - Part-time options - You pay most of the bill

Thesis Option  Master of Science - Classes (20 hours) - Research (10 hours) - 18 to 24 months - Full time only - We pay (most of) the bill

Our Focus Today [1] Non-Thesis (MEng) [2] Thesis (MS)… “right path” Thesis Non-Thesis

Undergraduate Days: focus on HOW.

Undergraduate Days: focus on HOW. Graduate Experience: focus on WHY. focus on WHY.

The Nature of Graduate Work  Research focus  Learning at frontiers of field  Creativity is important  Team work is encouraged  Close interactions with faculty  Exciting, fun, hard work!  Innovation emphasis
