Keeping an Eye to the Future in Designing Graduate Programs

Marye Anne Fox

North Carolina State University

This chapter discusses several issues relevant to graduate education: why the federal government supports universities to conduct most basic science; how advances in information technology may affect how science is conducted; what methods ought to be considered for supporting graduate students; why research scientists incur special obligations to K-12 education as a result of the covenant with the nation; and finally, how positive the interactions between universities and private industry can be as a model for future scientific collaborations.
