Being A Ph.D. Student in the Engineering Field
Join us for "Being A Ph.D. Student in the Engineering Field," specifically designed for international students at the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. In this event, you'll hear from one Ph.D. student from each school within Fulton as they share their personal journeys to pursuing a doctoral degree. They will discuss crucial topics including when and how they decided to pursue their Ph.D., the application process, strategies for connecting with faculty members, securing funding, and insights into their research and lab experiences. This is an invaluable opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to succeed in a Ph.D. program and to gather tips that could guide your own academic and research pursuits in engineering. Don't miss out on this chance to learn from those who are currently navigating the path you may soon take!
