Applying to Graduate School and Research Fellowships

"Why should you pursue a graduate degree in engineering? What should you consider when applying to graduate school? How to you ace your fellowship and graduate program applications? How can AIChE help you prepare for graduate school and excel as a graduate student as you pursue your degree? Members of AIChE’s Young Professionals Committee (YPC) will be discussing answers to all these questions and more. Join us for a great session discussing everything you need to prepare for your graduate school career. This workshop will feature numerous YP’s either currently in graduate programs or recently graduated. This session has been very successful in the past, as numerous students attending the AIChE conference are interested in pursuing research-based graduate degrees in engineering. The session will be interactive, leaving ample time for Q&A. Furthermore, this session can be easily adapted to a virtual format if need be. One of the society-wide goals of AIChE is to add new members and increase member retention. This session will also focus on how AIChE can help students prepare for graduate school and succeed once they start to pursue their degree by advertising for graduate-student leadership in YPC and potentially divisions and forums.
