Engineering Doctoral Student Survey on Academic Experiences

Dear Final-Year Engineering PhD Students, 

My name is Cony Qin (MEng, Mechanical & Industrial Engineering), and I am the student project lead for “Understanding Key Factors Impacting Doctoral Education in Engineering Fields”, supervised by Professor Ariel Chan, Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry. 

We are conducting a survey to explore the key factors that influence doctoral education experiences and academic success among Engineering PhD students at U of T. The survey is open to all final-year PhD students in Engineering, and we would greatly appreciate your participation! The survey will remain open until April 18. 

This survey is anonymous, and no personally identifiable information will be collected. Participation is voluntary, and you may withdraw consent at any time simply by choosing not to complete the survey.
