I chose to focus very specifically on the concept of supply-and-demand that was such a big part of the roundtable discussions. In a nutshell: I don't believe that supply/demand framework is a good one when thinking about graduate STEM education (or, at least not at the Ph.D. level). Yes, it is almost certainly a good idea of Ph.D. programs to do a better job with industry experience/internships, more formal exposure to career options, etc. But I don't believe that workforce arguments are all that informative at the Ph.D. level.</p> <p>You can jump directly to the article on my blog at <a href='http://csdiary.org/2007/11/08/graduate-stem-education-roundtable/'>http://csdiary.org/2007/11/08/graduate-stem-education-roundtable/</a>.</p> <p>Thanks again for posting your summary. Very useful.</p> Peter Fiske tag:blog.phds.org,2007-11-15:811:812 2007-11-15T07:53:00Z 2007-11-15T07:53:00Z <p>We are inviting the participants in the Roundtable to add their comments to this blog.
