可以说,希望进入学术界获得博士学位的工程师的最佳时间是在工业界工作四到五年后。在此期间,实践工程可以广泛接触到工程学科的实践方面。这种接触可以帮助学生更有效的指导,与其他执业工程师更好的专业关系,以及更好地理解工程师解决真实的世界问题所面临的真实的问题。然而,希望返回博士研究的执业工程师面临着传统学生不一定遇到的许多障碍。本文提出了一些面临的挑战,谁试图回到研究生院攻读博士学位的实践工程师。要解决的领域包括获得研究生入学的困难,缺乏奖学金和赠款返回专业人士,研究生学习的其他财务方面影响执业专业人士,项目管理问题,和求职问题。
It can be said that the best time for an engineer who desires to enter academia to earn their Doctoral Degree is after a four to five year period working in industry. During this time period, a practicing engineering can be extensively exposed to the practical aspect of the engineering discipline. This exposure can aid to a more effective mentorship with students, better professional relationships with other practicing engineers, and a better understanding of the real problems faced by engineers solving real world problems. However, a practicing engineer who wishes to return for doctoral studies faces numerous hurdles not necessarily encountered by a traditional student. This article puts forth some of the challenges facing a practicing engineer who attempts to return to graduate school for Doctoral Study. Areas to be addressed include difficulties obtaining graduate admission, the lack of fellowships and grants for returning professionals, other financial aspects of graduate studies impacting practicing professionals, project management issues, and job search issues.
