Does the current graduate education system adequately prepare science and engineering students for today's marketplace? How do foreign students enter the picture? What should be the PhD of the future? These and other questions are addressed in this book by a blue-ribbon panel of scientists and engineers. Recommendations are aimed at creating a new PhD that would retain the existing strengths of the current system while substantially increasing the information available, the potential versatility of students, and the career options afforded to them by their PhD education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reshaping the Graduate Education of Scientists and Engineers: Nas's Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy Report, Vol. 19: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Basic Research of the Committee on Science, U. S. House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, First Session, July 13, 1995 The Subcommittee met at 9:40 a.m. in Room 2318 of the Rayburn House Office Building, the Honorable Steven H. Schiff, Chairman of the Subcommittee, presiding. Mr. Schiff. Good morning, everybody. I would like to call the Subcommittee to order. I have a brief opening statement I would like to read into the record, and I will recognize our ranking member, Mr. Geren of Texas, for any opening statements he might like to make. We are here today to examine a report from the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Science Engineering and Public Policy, entitled "Reshaping Graduate Education of Scientists and Engineers." This report looks at the process by which scientists and engineers are educated and makes recommendations for preparing students for future success. I strongly believe that science and technological advances will eventually solve most of this country's social, economic, and environmental problems. I became a member of the Science Committee to ensure that the Federal Government's role in science is both adequate and beneficial. That said, I am pleased that the Subcommittee has this opportunity to examine the process of graduate education because of its critical link to ensuring that our Nation is able to meet these challenges with high technologies and advanced scientific solutions. The Ph.D.-level educated scientist and engineer plays a central role in the prosperity, security, and competitiveness of our Nation. Their successes are the Nation's successes. The Cosepup, which is the acronym for the committee report, urges that modifications be made to America's system of graduate education in order to ensure the future success of these individuals. This should be done not only because scientists and engineers will be employed to help solve the major social and economic concerns that we're facing, but also because today's Ph.D. candidate is tomorrow's educator.

Book excerpt: The Board on Science, Technology and Economic Policy updated its 1999 analysis (Appendix A, Securing America's Industrial Strength, 1999) of changes since 1990 in the distribution of federal research funding by field of science and engineering) by incorporating FY 1998 and FY 1999 obligations from the NSF Federal Funds survey, with particular attention to the trends in basic research support, changes in research fields' relative dependence on research-sponsoring agencies, and the relationship between changes in research support and changes in enrollment in graduate training in selected fields of research. The Board did not recommend funding levels for any discipline but addressed procedural aspects of R&D budgeting.

Book excerpt: This guide offers helpful advice on how teachers, administrators, and career advisers in science and engineering can become better mentors to their students. It starts with the premise that a successful mentor guides students in a variety of ways: by helping them get the most from their educational experience, by introducing them to and making them comfortable with a specific disciplinary culture, and by offering assistance with the search for suitable employment. Other topics covered in the guide include career planning, time management, writing development, and responsible scientific conduct. Also included is a valuable list of bibliographical and Internet resources on mentoring and related topics.
