Session A01: Professional Preparation

Professional Preparation for the Physics Graduate

The world of work, whether or not it is academic work, is very different from the world of a student. We describe here a course which adds to a student's education the elements needed to make the transition away from studenthood: legal issues in science, business issues in science, ethics, collaboration and organization. The modules of this course are built around technical writing, a central and crucial part of a career.
