Description
|
The ultimate goal of this
project is to provide the information needed to determine
how graduate education in the physical sciences can be
improved to better match both the needs of graduates and
their future employers. This project provides an
in-depth picture of the careers and work activities of
recent physical science graduates by using an effective
combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques. The
proposed project compliments existing and planned efforts at
the NSF, scientific societies, and elsewhere. While the
project is focused on the physical sciences, our results and
the methodologies developed for this project are applicable to other fields as well as individual departments
that wish to improve their evaluation efforts.
