"Designed to unravel some of the mystery around graduate school programs in science and engineering, this one-stop resource reinforces strategies for succeeding in graduate school. Qualitative interviews offer firsthand 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 that 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 and defending the dissertation; searching for a job; learning by critique; and balancing competing needs." "The goal of The Woman's Guide to Navigating the Ph. D. in Engineering & Science is to help women overcome the stereotypes and hidden barriers that they might encounter in graduate school, so that they will emerge ready for careers in the academic, corporate, or public sector."--Jacket.
