ENGR 498b (Preparing for Graduate Education)

ENGR 498b
Winter 2012
Wednesdays, 11:30-12:20

Have you thought about life after graduation? Consider graduate school. ENGR498B will demystify the grad school process and help you think about whether it is a good option for you. Learn what it's really like to be a grad student, what sort of work you can expect to do while you're in grad school, and what opportunities will be open to you after grad school. Find out how to choose schools to apply to, how to make your application as strong as possible, and how you can get your education paid for. We'll address the GREs, letters of
recommendation, and ways to get an undergraduate research experience. This course is open to all undergraduates interested in engineering, but is particularly targeted at sophomores and juniors. We especially
encourage students from under-represented groups to enroll, including women, minorities, and students with disabilities.
