Preface
The book addresses two groups of readers • A specific group, comprising anybody contemplating, or already engaged in, a doctorate in engineering or one of the physical sciences • A wider group, comprising anybody who is interested in topics such as the ethics of research, student–supervisor interactions, managing success, setting goals, achieving an appropriate work–life balance or recovering from injustice. Parts I and II cover topics associated with doing a doctorate. Although the material is principally directed at students in engineering or the physical sciences, many of the ideas apply more broadly to doctoral students in any faculty or discipline. The material may also interest teachers, counsellors and parents of young people contemplating this career choice. Parts III and IV focus on issues that you will face as your career progresses into ever more responsible positions. Much of the material applies to a wide group of readers.
