This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). This engineering education research award to the University of South Carolina will employ researchers to investigate how engineering doctoral programs can better prepare graduates for careers in industry. This research explores the transformation of doctoral engineering education from the current structure with an emphasis on engineering science and narrowly defined research topics, to an intentional process that produces outcomes which are valued by modern constituencies. The project team will determine the knowledge, attributes and skills (KAS) valued by industry and the components of the Ph.D. programs that best prepare students in acquiring KAS valued by industry. It will also explore potential Ph.D. candidates' perceptions of KAS and how this relates to their attitudes towards pursuing a Ph.D. degree. This research could have a significant effect on strategies which will enable the United States to maintain its economic leadership and capacity to innovate and to sustain its share of high-technology jobs.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。这项授予南卡罗来纳大学的工程教育研究奖将雇用研究人员研究工程博士课程如何更好地为行业职业做好准备。这项研究探讨了博士工程教育从当前的结构的转变，重点是工程科学和狭义的研究主题，转变为有意的过程，该过程产生了现代选区所重视的结果。项目团队将确定行业价值和博士学位的组成部分的知识，属性和技能（KAS）。为学生准备好获得行业价值的KA的计划。它还将探索潜在的博士学位。候选人对KAS的看法以及这与他们对攻读博士学位的态度的关系。程度。这项研究可能会对战略产生重大影响，这将使美国能够保持其经济领导能力和创新和维持其高科技工作的能力。
