CareerWise-II is a continuation of CareerWise-I [supported by DRL 0634519]. This is a research project testing the efficacy of resiliency training over the Internet for the benefit of female doctoral students in engineering and the physical sciences, in order to reduce their attrition from their doctoral programs. The central research question is whether deliberate resilience training delivered via the Internet can strengthen women students' persistence and success in STEM doctoral programs. CareerWise-II identifies five research questions: 1. What is the relationship between interpersonal communication skills and student perception of supports / barriers to degree completion / STEM careers? 2. What is the most effective approach for delivering online instruction in interpersonal skills for STEM doctoral students?3. Do instructional design principles that guide the development of non-interactive multimodal learning environments generalize to interactive, web-based environments? 4. Do principles of instructional design derived from more structured domains (math, science) generalize to training soft skills (interpersonal communication)? 5. Does systematic resilience training over the Internet strengthen women students' persistence?The focus of CW-II will be on usability testing, large scale testing (including recruiting students), and improved Internet interfaces, including simulations. The research design is comprised of three phases, each testing the effectiveness of different materials or combinations of materials. Each phase has randomized trials.

CareerWise-II是CareerWise-I的延续[由DRL 0634519支持]。 这是一个研究项目，旨在测试通过互联网为工程和物理科学女博士生提供复原力培训的效果，以减少她们在博士课程中的流失。 核心研究问题是，通过互联网提供的刻意复原力培训是否可以加强女学生在STEM博士课程中的坚持和成功。 CareerWise-II确定了五个研究问题：1.人际沟通技巧和学生对完成学位/ STEM职业的支持/障碍的看法之间的关系是什么？2.为STEM博士生提供人际交往技能在线教学的最有效方法是什么？3. 指导非交互式多模式学习环境开发的教学设计原则是否可以推广到交互式、基于网络的环境？ 4. 从结构化领域（数学、科学）衍生的教学设计原则是否可以推广到软技能（人际沟通）的训练？5. 通过互联网进行系统的复原力培训是否增强了女学生的坚持力？CW-II的重点将是可用性测试、大规模测试（包括招募学生）和改进的互联网接口，包括模拟。 研究设计由三个阶段组成，每个阶段测试不同材料或材料组合的有效性。 每个阶段都有随机试验。
