商品描述

The definitive toolkit for doctoral students in engineering on thesis--and journal--article preparation, project (and stress) management, IP protection, collaborations, and other aspects of the PhD journey.

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 own 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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

博士生在工程領域的終極工具包，涵蓋論文及期刊文章的準備、專案（及壓力）管理、智慧財產保護、合作以及博士旅程的其他方面。

獲得博士學位不應該需要博士學位，但有時這個過程可能會讓人感到困惑——儘管對於導師和顧問來說，這些事情是顯而易見的。在面對這一困境的工程博士生中，Caroline Boudoux，一位成功的研究者和企業家，提供了一本揭開追求博士學位挑戰的指南——這些挑戰既令人生畏，又看似平常，有時卻出乎意料。在《It Goes without Saying》中，Boudoux運用她自己在指導研究生、教授博士研討會以及不久前在麻省理工學院獲得博士學位的豐富經驗，為博士候選人提供成功所需的知識和信心。

本書探討的主題包括：

- 博士學位是什麼：旅程、里程碑和最終目標。
- 關於工程博士專案的技術問題及如何領導一個專案。
- 實務事項，包括從提案到論文的寫作技巧；倫理；以及智慧財產。
- 個人關注，如應對期望、冒名頂替症候群和壓力。

從平凡到形而上學，這本使用者友好的指南為工程博士生提供了從第一天到成功完成博士學位所需的工具，以及時、充分知情和前瞻性的方式進行。
