Abstract
This paper presents the findings of an investigation into the beliefs and expectations about their professional socialisation of postgraduate research students, at Masters and PhD level, in two Engineering schools in an Australian university. This study is part of a larger research project exploring the views of Engineering postgraduate research candidates, Engineering academics, recently employed postgraduate qualified engineers and employers of postgraduate research trained engineers.
