Board # 68 : Engineering Technology Graduate Students: Roles Professional Societies Have in Their Formation
2017 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition
(2017)
Abstract
In recent years, there have been several research projects focused on returning graduate student in engineering, those who have significant industry experience before beginning their graduate studies. These projects have focused on both the masters and doctoral levels and have looked at research, coursework, benefits of attending graduate school, and the cost of going back. One of the existing papers has looked at the ways in which professional organizations look on returning students, and how the membership policies affect these students. The issue of how returning students see themselves within professional societies was not addressed. As of yet, none of these studies have focused on returning graduate students in engineering technology.
