thread_title: Broken Link

message: What's the problem with adding links to the article? At least leave the EPSRC link. This is not a product people pay for, but a scheme that is funded by the EPSRC.
:My rewrite of the article gives a link in the references to EPSRC's page listing all the centres that offer EngDs. That's enough, I think. -Splash - tk 12:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I've added a paragraph from the old Doctor of Engineering article, because that's a fairly commonly-offered program in the United States. Are the Eng.D. and the D.Eng. functionally equivalent? Or are they different enough that Doctor of Engineering should be demerged? Argyriou (talk) 08:37, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Engineering Doctorate vs Doctor of Engineering 

message: The article is rather contrived and misses the point. The main differences between a traditional UK PhD degree and the EngD that should be emphasized are as follows:
:1) A PhD degree is normally pursued full-time by a student while in residence in a university department and under the supervision of a faculty member. PhD-level research is more speculative/abstract in nature, with an emphasis on producing results that may be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
:2) The EngD on the other hand is normally pursued by a candidate while he/she works as an employee in an outside company. Most EngD research is carried out in a designated industry (as opposed to a university department or lab) and is jointly supervised by both an industrial and a university supervisor. Accordingly, EngD-level research tends to be application-oriented in nature and designed to meet the specific needs/interests of the industrial sponsor. EngD candidates are still required to produce original research that makes a significant contribution to existing knowledge on his/her field, but, in many programmes (AmEng "programs"), it is customary for EngD candidates to submit a portfolio of engineering projects in lieu of a longer monographic thesis to fulfil (AmEng "fulfill") the requirements for the degree.
:3) EngD programmes normally include a more formal coursework requirement than the traditional English PhD. It should be stressed however that many engineering departments in the UK (e.g. at Cambridge) now require that PhD students take lecture courses and their associated written exams in their first year in the programme. 
:4) (POV) No matter what the Research Councils say, the EngD is still generally seen in academic circles as inferior to a PhD. For example, I doubt an EngD would be acceptable as a qualification for appointment as a Lecturer in a university, whereas the PhD of course is the standard qualification for entry into the academic career. 161.24.19.112 (talk) 12:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
