Abstract

Career goals of engineering students, enrollment needs of universities, and academic quality concerns of engineering faculty are often in conflict. The development, standards, and administration of dual graduate degree programs can positively address all three needs. One university's approach to dual graduate degree programs is described with reference to combined bachelor's and masters, bachelor's and doctoral, masters and masters, and graduate certificate and masters degree programs. These are arranged flexibly to meet multiple degree objectives that may combine multidisciplinary engineering degrees, engineering with management, engineering with architecture, and other combinations in the STEM disciplines. Standards for admission and participation, retention, advancement to the graduate program, and quality control are described. Methods of recruitment and the impact on the diversity of the graduate student population are described over a 10-year period of accumulated data. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2007.
