At the Rochester Institute of Technology, undergraduate students have the unique opportunity to pursue a dual BS and MS degree in engineering. Many outstanding students take advantage of this opportunity but in order to obtain both degrees in a reasonable amount of time, work on the thesis must begin during the student’s third or fourth year. While the students are technically capable of completing the early stages of their thesis work at this time, they often lack the softer skills that many educators remember learning from their graduate student peer groups when they were in school. Since RIT is a primarily undergraduate institution, where many of the MS students are just advanced undergraduates, this peer group does not exist for many of our dualdegree students who are taking four courses per quarter, holding down jobs, and participating in a variety of on-campus extracurricular activities. To facilitate this skill set development in early BS/MS students, a graduate seminar series has been piloted this year. Topics have been selected and timed to help guide students through the process of finding a thesis topic/advisor, starting their thesis research, and developing a plan of action. The long-term goal is to use the Graduate Seminar course as a way to help entering BS/MS students to learn the soft skills needed to succeed from upperclassmen and build a support network among these students.
