| Abstract Scope |
Most materials science and engineering students are well prepared for industry careers. However, our field is changing quickly as new tools and methods become available, and the skills required for a successful career in the future of materials science are uncertain. How can students and educators prepare for industry careers in light of this uncertainty? I will discuss key skills, outcomes of effective student training, and the characteristics of high performing industry practitioners. |
