The scientists and engineers of today are relentless in their
continuing study and analysis of the world about us from the
microcosm to the macrocosm. A central purpose of this study is to
gain sufficient scientific information and insight to enable the
development of both representative and useful models of the
superabundance of physical processes that surround us. The
engineers need these models and the associated insight in order to
build the information processing systems and control systems that
comprise these new and emerging technologies. Much of the early
modeling work that has been done on these systems has been based on
the linear time-invariant system theory and its extensive use of
Fourier transform theory for both continuous and discrete systems
and signals. However many of the signals arising in nature and real
systems are neither stationary nor linear but tend to be
concentrated in both time and frequency. Hence a new methodology is
needed to take these factors properly into account.

This resource book consists of ten chapters written by sixteen
graduate student authors and two academic professional staff
members. Each chapter is accompanied by a short video that
dramatizes the theme along with probing discussion questions. The
chapter topics include seeking funding, the challenges of the first
year of graduate school, finding a thesis advisor, working with
thesis committee members, balancing family and graduate student
life, and life after graduate school.Where these subjects have been
treated in an academic style many times, this book conveys its
message through personal narratives of the challenging
circumstances its graduate student authors encountered and solved.
It does not give its readers long lists of statistics about
graduation rates or most advantageous actions for best outcomes.
What it does instead is provide readers with a vivid sense of the
types of life experiences one can expect to encounter when
undertaking a graduate degree and the opportunity to discuss these
real-life issues with others.The book was started and developed as
a project under the Midwest Crossroads Alliance for Graduate
Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) and completed as part of the
professional development activities under the Committee on
Institutional Cooperation (CIC) AGEP.
