Synopsis: "Survive and thrive in graduate school. Designed to unravel some of the mystery around graduate school programs in science and engineering, this one-stop resource reinforces strategies for succeeding. Qualitative interviews offer first--hand stories and tips from women who have found success in academia, industry, and the public sector. Each chapter covers a different aspect of graduate school, from identifying funding sources, to writing the dissertation, to looking for a job. "The Woman's Guide to Navigating the Ph.d. in Engineering & Science" also focuses on the emotional and social difficulties women may experience, and offers practical suggestions and advice for surviving and thriving in graduate school. Featured topics include: funding, requirements and standards, qualifiers; making the advising process work; writing the dissertation and defending; searching for a job; learning by critique; and balancing competing needs. "The Woman's Guide to Navigating the Ph.d. in Engineering & Science" goal is to help women overcome the stereotypes and hidden barriers they may encounter in graduate school - so that they may emerge ready for careers in the academic, corporate or public sector.About the Authors: Dr. Barbara B.
