This site is dedicated to saving my speech. These are collections of advice that I find myself telling students over and over. ;)
Backscatter: Engineers Can’t Write? Sez Who!, great IEEE article by Donald Christiansen. how true it is!
Engineering Your Career, Webinars on using engineering skills to design a career.
Networking on the Network, Another good work of advice from Phil Agre. I suggest this to all. It is about building networks (not the TCP/IP type - the people type). GREAT FOR THE JOB SEEKER!
The PhD Process, For those interested in going after the PhD. (It might not be what you think it is!)
PhD: First Thoughts to Finished Writing. A how-to. Some good thought provoking hints to getting started and FINISHING.
Mastering the masters while working, Callahan, L.B. IEEE Potentials , Volume: 20 Issue: 3 , Aug.-Sept. 2001 Page(s): 11 -13. (An article by my wife)
How to Be a Good Graduate Student, I have not read this, but it has been recommended by a reliable source.
How to do Research At the MIT AI Lab, Once again, highly recommended but not read. Not so much about AI or MIT, but about research and graduate work in general.
Women in Academia Not a paper but a site. A lot of general advice about being in the academia world, male or female.
JobHuntersBible. By the Richard Bolles, author or "What Color Is Your Parachute?" - The best job hunting guide on the market. Highly recommended - this REALLY works, most else does not! Also see "Networking on the Network" for good advice in this area. FORGET THE WORK ON THE RESUME AND ANSWERING JOB ADS ON THE INTERNET - READ THIS STUFF AND DO IT.
The Kuhn Times Various articles and insights from Ken Kuhn, one of our long time instructors of electronics.
