Re: For FIRST Alums thinking about Engineering Graduate School

Graduate school is a great step for engineers who are interested into research based jobs.

Most bachelor's degree will not teach you how to solve complex problems. A masters degree will give you the skills to solve a problem using literature searches, design methodology and rigorous mathematical theory.

This of course varies widely by schools, degrees, advisor and student motivation.

A PhD gives you the chance to propose a complex problem no one has ever solved !
