It Goes without Saying Taking the Guesswork Out of Your PhD in Engineering

It shouldn't take a PhD to get a PhD, but sometimes the process can seem that confusing-even though, to the mentors and advisors, so obvious that it goes without saying. For doctoral students in engineering confronting this dilemma, Caroline Boudoux, an accomplished researcher and entrepreneur, provides a demystifying guide to the challenges-daunting, seemingly routine, and at times unexpected-of pursuing a PhD in this demanding field. In It Goes without Saying, Boudoux marshals her considerable experience mentoring graduate students, teaching doctoral workshops, and-not so long ago-earning her own PhD at MIT to give PhD candidates the know-how, and the confidence, to succeed.
Among the topics this book takes up are:
What a PhD is: the journey, the milestones, and the endgame.Technical questions about what a doctoral project in engineering is and how to lead one.Practical matters including tips on writing, from proposal to dissertation; ethics; and intellectual property.Personal concerns, such as dealing with expectations, imposter syndrome, and stress.From the mundane to the metaphysical, this user-friendly guide gives the doctoral student in engineering the tools to make it from Day 1 to the successful completion of the PhD in a timely, fully informed, and forward-looking manner.
