This book focuses on methods to improve the education of science and engineering students so that they are well prepared for careers in either the academic or nonacademic world. The author offers ways for university faculty to adapt accordingly and teach a broader range of skills, the willingness to participate in teamwork, technical proficiency, adaptability, and versatility within the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum. The book covers ways to provide a broader exposure to experiences desired by both academic employers and non-university employers so that students are prepared for an increasingly interdisciplinary, collaborative, and global job market.
