The Industrial\\Organizational Program Handbook Florida Tech 2013-2014 Rev: 7/31/13 Welcome to the Industrial/Organizational Psychology program at Florida Tech! We are glad you have chosen Florida Tech for your graduate education in I/O psychology. We are proud of our dynamic and growing program and are excited to share it with you. Whether you are here for the Master's or Ph.D. in I/O psychology, you will be taking a series of rigorous courses that cover the field of I/O psychology, as well as working closely with the faculty on research and/or applied projects. We take the scientistpractitioner approach very seriously. What does that mean for you? It means that you will be exposed to the science of I/O psychology, both classic and contemporary approaches, as well as the applied practice of I/O psychology. Most of us are in the field of I/O because of the applied nature of the field; we want to use scientific and data-driven principles to increase the effectiveness of people in organizations, and make organizations better places to work. As business becomes more global, I/O psychology training programs should ensure students learn the knowledge and professional competencies required to be successful in this ever expanding arena. With this in mind, students (with the approval of the program chair) may elect a concentration in international I/O. This concentration consists of a series of core courses in cross-cultural psychology, electives, and opportunities to conduct research and study abroad. While you are here you can expect to be challenged and to work hard to learn the knowledge and skills you will need to be successful in your career. You can also expect to have a little bit of fun. Our culture is ranked #1 of I/O programs in the U.S. and the foundation of our culture rests on what Collins and Porras (1994) in their classic book Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies call \"the genius of the and.\" This means that we are not constrained by self-limiting thinking. We can work hard, learn a lot, AND have fun while we do it. So sit back and enjoy the ride. It will be long, it will be strange and it will definitely be a trip. Lisa Lisa Steelman, Ph.D. Program Chair Rev: 7/31/13 The Masters and Ph.D. Program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology The principal thrust of the I/O program at Florida Institute of Technology is to develop scientists who are able to apply their psychological research skills and knowledge effectively to the solution of human problems in complex organizations. The program adopts the scientist/practitioner model in which students are prepared to work in a variety of consulting and academic settings. The I/O graduate program is intended to train students in the core areas of I/O psychology and provide opportunities for students to get involved in both research and practice. The typical program plans presented below are not meant to suggest that the individual program for each student will be rigidly prescribed. There are a number of required core courses but there is ample opportunity for students to personalize their program plan with electives. Each graduate student in the I/O program should be very familiar with both University Catalog and School of Psychology Student Handbook. The basic responsibility for insuring that all requirements and standards are met rests with the individual student. Student Advising Each entering graduate student will be assigned an initial academic advisor from the I/O faculty. Students are free to change advisors with the agreement of the faculty member chosen. Students must notify the old advisor of the change in status. All students must remain in close contact with their advisors and provide updates about their academic progress/status at least once per semester. During the first year, the advisor will review the student's academic background, assist the student in planning a first-year program, and make recommendations regarding course requirements to be waived, if any. The academic advisor will also be responsible for follow-up guidance to the student and for monitoring his or her academic progress. In subsequent years the advisor will continue to assist the student in planning their academic program, monitor student progress, and serve as the chair of the student's thesis and/or dissertation committees. Thesis & Dissertation For the MS degree, students will elect to complete either a thesis or a practicum. A thesis and dissertation are required for the Ph.D. degree. Students will work closely with their advisor to choose an appropriate research topic for the project. The thesis/dissertation is expected to be a scholarly work that could be published in a peer reviewed journal. Publication is encouraged but not required. The general publication agreement is that if students publish their thesis/dissertation within a reasonable timeframe (1-2 years after completion) the student will be first author on the publication. If the student elects not to pursue publication, the advisor may still publish the work and order of authorship is at the advisor's discretion (generally depends on the amount of reanalysis and re-writing that is done). All authors will have the opportunity to review the manuscript prior to publication. Practicum The integration of course work and practice is an integral part of your training as an applied psychologist. To achieve this, students in the I/O program complete an extensive practicum to prepare for professional careers in I/O psychology. Practica allow students to develop hands-on skills and gain real-world experience in applied research and problem solving. The practicum option consists of 300 hours of I/O-related work at an approved practicum site and the completion of a technical report describing the practicum experience and I/O work. Rev: 7/31/13 Although the I/O program offers assistance in searching for a practicum placement, it is ultimately up to the student to secure his/her position. Practicum placements may be made in local, national, and international organizations or with independent consultants in which the student engages in supervised activities related to one or more areas of I/O Psychology. Students are encouraged to start their practica in their second or third semester in the program, or between the two, during the summer. After a suitable practicum site and supervisor have been identified, a Practicum Agreement is prepared that outlines the activities and learning goals that will comprise the practicum The Practicum option requires 300 hours of work and students must register for 6 credits of Practicum (PSY5496). In addition to the Practicum Agreement, all students registered for a practicum are responsible for handing in a final technical report at the completion of their practicum. Practica may be completed at a place where the student is already employed, but there must be evidence that the project completed represents work beyond the normal job requirements. Many practicum projects will overlap semesters and/or interims between semesters. This is acceptable. You may also complete your practicum hours by participating in a practicum in more than one location or on more than one project. Each practicum is unique and will engage and train different knowledge, skills and abilities. Overall, students can expect to work in an area of I/O psychology and develop transferrable skills and broaden their knowledge of the field. Students are also expected to develop and demonstrate personal characteristics such as initiative and working with minimal supervision. While managers typically expect adaptability, initiative and individual contribution, students should ask questions and clarify goals when necessary.. A SIOP survey of practicum supervisors found that supervisors are looking for students to demonstrate several competencies. Keep these in mind as you are applying for, interviewing for and completing a practicum. While technical skills (particularly statistical knowledge) are considered important, practicum supervisors emphasized interpersonal skills, work ethic (e.g., conscientiousness, results orientation), and ability to demonstrate initiative and be proactive. Communication skills are also critical, especially the ability to translate complex statistical or methodological information into business or lay-terminology. Additionally, practicum supervisors mentioned quality orientation, adaptability, continuous learning (e.g., recognizes weaknesses, seeks information, quick learner, accepts feedback), and problem solving as being key characteristics of effective interns. Finally, respondents indicated that effective interns understand the constraints placed on I/O research techniques in business environments and are willing and able to make appropriate trade-offs between scientific rigor and business realities. Technical Report. Upon completion of the practicum, a technical report will be completed that details the I/Orelated work done, projects worked on, relationship to the literature/class learnings, and personal reflections. This report should be turned in to the student's faculty advisor and Director of The Center upon completion of the practicum. The Director of The Center has sample technical reports that students can review. The technical report may include the following sections. The structure and content of the technical report may be modified to suit the individual practicum experience. Rev: 7/31/13 Executive Summary Company Information Work Details Discussion of the project/s, what did you do, with whom did you work, what was your role in the project, how does it apply to IO, how does it coincide with what you learned in class (fit with class work and non fit with class work) Introspection (what did you learn, was it a good experience, how could the experience have been improved, journal of work experiences) Appendices (timesheets, practicum agreement, documents/materials created) Master's Exam The purpose of the master's specialty exam is to assess the master's level graduate student's competence in the content areas directly associated with I/O psychology and covered in our curriculum and coursework. The exam consists of 3 to 5 questions in memo format. At least one question will involve data analysis. The student is expected to provide evidence-based, practical answers/solutions to the problems identified in the memo questions. It is an open book exam and relevant written material (appropriately cited) may be used to formulate answers. We are looking for applied answers that can be justified by readings from articles and books from your classes, as well as the most current literature from the field. The Master's Specialty Exam is taken over a weekend near the end of the final semester. Dates will be agreed upon by all students participating in the exam and the Exam Committee in February of the student's final semester. An orientation session will be conducted for all students taking the master's specialty exam; all students are expected to attend. The student will receive the exam from the chair of the Master's Exam Committee on Friday afternoon. The student will be required to submit a final report by 5:00 p.m. the following Monday. The test taker may use any available library resources, books, notes etc; however, the test taker will not be allowed to solicit help from other individuals. All resources used must be appropriately cited. Each question is graded on a 1-5 scale with 1 being unacceptable, 3 being competent and 5 being excellent. Students with an average score across all questions of 3.0 or better have probably passed. Students will be graded on the following categories: I/O Related Content: Student demonstrates mastery of I/O content appropriate to answer the question, demonstrates ability to solve applied problems, appropriately cites relevant theory and research Report writing - professional audience: correct grammar, spelling, punctuation; report is written for a knowledgeable HR audience Students who fail will be allowed to retake the examination twice. Examinations will be re-administered the following academic semester (i.e., if the exam was taken in the spring semester the second exam will be administered during the summer semester). Under no circumstances will a student be permitted to continue to register in the same major, or to attempt again to pass the Final Program Exam in the same major, after the exam has been failed three times. If a student becomes ill or has a death in the family over the testing weekend and is unable to complete the exam, written documentation is required for a make-up exam. If the exam is not completed over the testing weekend and no written documentation is provided, the exam grade will be 'fail'. Doctoral Comprehensive Exam The goal of the IO Psychology comprehensive examination is to assess knowledge, integration, and professional application in the field of Industrial/Organizational Psychology. Students are expected to have knowledge of all areas of I/O psychology and demonstrate this knowledge through the written and oral exam. Each student in the Ph.D. program must pass a written and oral comprehensive examination. This exam is typically taken in the summer after the third year of study. Comps must be successfully completed before beginning work on the Dissertation. The exam will be administered by the student's doctoral committee that must be established no later than April of the third year. The student and major advisor will jointly decide the composition of the committee but at a minimum the committee membership must include a Chair (major advisor), two committee members for the I/O psychology program and one member from outside the School of Psychology. The written exam will be a 2 day exam. The first day questions will cover general I/O psychology. The second day questions will cover 2 concentration areas chosen by the student and approved by the major advisor. Students failing writtens will not move on to orals. They may retake the entire 2 day exam the next time it is offered. Only one retake is allowed. Students will only be informed of their pass/fail status, not their numerical score. Immediately after the oral exam, the student will be informed if he/she has passed or failed. If the oral Rev: 7/31/13 examination is failed, the committee has the option of recommending that it be retaken, providing the committee agrees that the overall performance warrants such a retake. The oral exam can only be retaken once. The written exam will be graded based on the following criteria: I/O Related Content: Student demonstrates mastery of I/O content, demonstrates ability to integrate, synthesize and evaluate material, appropriately cites relevant theory and research Research Methods: Student demonstrates mastery of research methods and statistics by appropriately answering questions and using relevant citations International I/O Concentration A concentration is offered in International I/O psychology. The curriculum consists of 3 courses required for the concentration but taken in place of programmatic electives. This means the International concentration should not require additional coursework beyond the 90 credits required for the Ph.D. Study abroad opportunities are also available for students in the international concentration. The Center for Organizational Effectiveness (The Center) Lisa A. Steelman, Director The Center for Organizational Effectiveness is a research and consulting center managed by industrial/organizational psychology faculty and graduate students. The mission of the center is to provide human capital measurement and talent management strategies to promote effective organizations. Its customized solutions help organizations hire, train and retain high-performing employees. The center conducts research and provides consulting services in all areas of industrial/ organizational psychology including selection and assessment, training and development, survey research and organizational development, and career development and succession planning. The Institute for Cross Cultural Management (ICCM) Richard L. Griffith, Director The institute's mission is to create new knowledge and educational opportunities to help professionals develop global management skills. To effectively reach its mission goals, ICCM is organized into two directorates, research and professional development. ICCM research concentrates on issues that affect daily business conduct such as cross-cultural competency, managing multicultural work groups, expatriation/ repatriation and global leadership. This research informs the professional development activities, which train global leaders in the corporate and military sectors to effectively manage cultural challenges.

These represent the minimum expectations, but to become a competent professional, you must do far more than this. Our expectations are that you will become a highly talented I/O psychologist who is able to conduct scientific research and apply the principles of scientific research. Our goal for you is that you will be able to compete for the best jobs in whatever area you choose for your career. Below is a list of activities that will enhance your training. 1. Join SIOP or other professional organizations. Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) is the foremost association of I/O psychologists in the world. It is one of the best places to learn about the profession of I/O psychology, and to keep up on recent developments. A student membership is cheap, and a large proportion of members are students. The association is a good place to network, which is something that will help your career. Other organizations are also relevant and have student membership fees that are very reasonable. 2. Attend some conferences. While still a student you should experience some professional conferences. Of course SIOP would be the obvious first choice, but other national organizations include Academy of Management, American Psychological Society, and American Psychological Association. Regional conferences (Southern Management Association and Southeastern Psychological Association) are smaller and can be good places as well. Other specialized meetings are also available. 3. Develop areas of interest. Research skills are the foundation of an I/O psychologist's expertise. Research does not just mean theory driven inquiry for publication. It means the collection of information Rev: 7/31/13 to address a question. This can involve the creation of new knowledge (primary research) or the investigation of what is already known about a topic (secondary research). Often practitioners are asked to research an issue (e.g., \"what's the latest federal court position on reasonable accommodation?\"). To develop these skills, you must conduct research. The thesis and dissertation are vehicles for this. But you should do more. You should develop some areas of interest in which to become expert. It doesn't matter if this will be the area in which you will later work after graduation. What matters is that you go through the inquiry process to develop your intellectual skills. The area is one in which you should read the literature of the past, and that you should try to keep up with by reading new work as it emerges. The area might form the basis of your thesis/dissertation, but it can be something entirely different. 4. Present a paper at a meeting and submit a paper to a journal. Both of these activities are tremendous learning opportunities. This activity really helps hone your research skills, and who knows, you might find that you like this activity and this can help direct your career. 5. Attend program brown bag sessions. From time to time we will ask I/O psychologists to come to campus to speak to you. Some will talk about research; others will discuss issues related to practice. Sometimes a speaker will be one of our own faculty or students. These are valuable opportunities to learn directly from researchers and from people who are in the field doing practice. 6. Get involved in the program. The I/O program is people, both the faculty and students. The more involved you become, the better the program will be, and the more you will get out of it yourself. For most of you, this is your first professional experience and your first professional network. Make the most of it. This means volunteering for various things, such as the mentor program, and working at our affiliated institutes, and serving on student committees. It also means coming to various events. You will learn from these things, and you will make connections with others. 7. Read TIP. The Industrial and Organizational Psychologist (TIP) is the SIOP newsletter, although it is far more than that. It contains a tremendous amount of information about the I/O field and profession. As a member of SIOP you will get a subscription, but it can be read online at www.siop.org. 8. Read the literature. You should look over the major journals of the field. This doesn't mean reading every article, but it does mean scanning the tables of contents to see what's going on in the field. It also means reading those articles that are within your areas of interest, or that might be relevant to what you are currently studying. 9. Get involved in research. Besides the thesis and dissertation, you should be involved in doing research during your entire graduate school career. First year students will likely assist faculty and advanced students on research projects. More advanced students should be conducting research projects in collaboration with one another and/or the faculty. Projects might consist of empirical studies or writing conceptual or review papers. Some of these activities will be associated with courses, e.g., scale development projects, but others will be outside of class.

Comps must be successfully completed before beginning work on the Dissertation. Although course work is the basis for comprehensive exams, students passing the exam will integrate relevant material and learnings across courses rather than simply \"dumping\" course material. The exam is comprised of two days of written work and an oral defense. Answers may be hand-written or typed on a University computer. After each day of testing students will turn in their handwritten answers or computer disc. After the final day of written testing, students will take no more than 2 days to type handwritten answers or edit computer answers before turning in answers (editing limited to spelling and grammar). Only typewritten answers will be graded and all typewritten answers will be compared to unedited answers turned in after Day 1 and Day 2. Type-written answers must be identified with question number, student ID number and page number. Answers will be graded anonymously. Students are responsible for securing an outside reader for their comprehensive exams. The outside reader becomes part of the student's Doctoral Committee and will also serve as outside reader for the dissertation, so choose wisely. This person should be secured no later than 60 days prior to the Comp exam. It is recommended the student find an outside reader by March. Students not taking credits during the semester of the exam must pay a registration fee of $150 for their comprehensive exam. Test dates will be determined by April of each year. Students should complete this form with their major advisor and forward a copy to Dr. Steelman by the end of March of their comps year.

Florida Tech School of Behavior Analysis Campus-Based Degree Programs 2013-2014 BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS STUDENT HANDBOOK The information contained here regarding requirements and curricula is binding for students starting any of the degree programs in Behavior Analysis during the 20132014 academic year. Behavior Analysis Programs 2013-2014 1 Florida Tech College of Psychology and Liberal Arts Behavior Analysis Graduate Degree Programs ____________________________________________________________ Associate Dean and Professor Jose A. Martinez-Diaz, Ph.D., BCBA-D On-Campus Program Chair and Professor David A. Wilder, Ph.D., BCBA-D Behavior analysis is a scientific approach to the study of behavior. It is concerned with describing, explaining, predicting, and changing behavior. Environmental events are the independent variable in behavior analysis, even though it is recognized that genetics and other biological variables also are needed to fully explain behavior. Thus the focus of behavior analysis is determining functional relations between behavior and environmental events. Behavior analysis is a natural science, like biology; it is not a social science, like psychology or sociology. Behavior analysis has four different branches: (1) the conceptual analysis of behavior, which addresses philosophical, theoretical, historical, and methodological issues; (2) the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), which focuses on research on basic processes and principles; (3) applied behavior analysis (ABA), which focuses on applying basic principles to solve problems of social significance while systematically evaluating these applications; and (4) behavior analytic service delivery, which focuses on professional practice and consultation. In addition, ABA researchers have developed and validated behavioral technology, which consists of assessment and behavior change procedures. Behavior analysis practitioners, other practitioners, teachers, parents, and others may utilize this behavioral technology. FL Tech offers four different graduate degrees in behavior analysis, each incorporating core elements from the different branches of behavior analysis: We offer three Master's of Science (M.S.) degrees and one doctoral degree. The M.S. degrees are in (1) Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which focuses on clinical and educational applications; (2) Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), which focuses on business and industry applications; and (3) ABA plus OBM, which focuses on both. The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree is in Behavior Analysis. ABAI Accreditation and BACB Approval Our three M.S. programs at the main campus and our M.S. in ABA program at the Orlando campus are fully accredited by the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI). Our Ph.D. program in Behavior Analysis has been designed to meet the ABAI accreditation standards and is scheduled to be reviewed for accreditation in five years (Note: A program has to be in operation for at least five years to qualify for accreditation; this is the third year of our Ph.D. program). The Behavior Analyst Behavior Analysis Programs 2013-2014 2 Certification Board (BACB ) has approved our Degree Programs Behavior Analysis Core Curriculum course sequence as meeting the coursework requirements for eligibility to take the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) examination. In addition, the BACB has approved our Intensive Practical Training in ABA course toward the Intensive Practicum experience requirement for taking the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA ) Examination. Missions The mission of our M.S. Behavior Analysis Degree Programs is to produce competent behavior-analytic practitioners and consultants, who are solidly grounded in basic principles derived from the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), who approach the world from a radical behaviorist perspective, who will continue to inform their practice with current research findings, contribute to behavioral research, who attain BCBA certification, and who are prepared to enter doctoral programs. The mission of our Ph.D. Behavior Analysis Degree Program is to produce competent behavior-analytic researchers, instructors, and practitioners who are solidly grounded in basic principles derived from the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB). We expect graduates of our doctoral program to approach the world from a radical behaviorist perspective, continue to contribute to behavioral research, inform their practice with current research findings, obtain academic and professional positions, and effectively manage behavior analysts under their supervision. Locations and Schedule The M.S. in ABA program is offered both on the main campus in Melbourne and at the Florida Tech Graduate Center in Orlando, Florida. Classes are offered at the Orlando Center mostly on Friday afternoons and Saturdays, while the main campus program offers most of its classes only on weekdays. Regardless of location, full-time students typically complete the program in four regular semesters plus the intervening summer. The M.S programs in OBM and ABA+OBM, and our doctoral program are offered exclusively, at the main campus. However, students in OBM and ABA+OBM programs may do their first year at the Orlando site and apply for transfer to the main campus site for their second year. Note Our four Behavior Analysis degree programs at the main campus and the ABA degree program at our Orlando site are part of the School of Behavior Analysis which is a part of the College of Psychology and Liberal Arts. Behavior Analysis Programs 2013-2014 3 APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA) - Major Code: 8147 Master of Science in ABA Degree Requirements A minimum of 44 semester credit hours is required. Requirements include completing the behavior analysis core curriculum (24 credit hours), a course covering biological foundations of behavior and pharmacology (3 credits), and intensive practical training (9 credit hours). Furthermore, students will be required to do a capstone project and take five credits or pre-approved electives. However, students are encouraged to substitute thesis prep course, a minimum of six credits of thesis and a one-credit pre-approved elective in lieu of the capstone option, but must have the support of a behavior analysis faculty member who will chair their committee. In addition all students must pass a final program examination which consists of a multiple-choice examination simulating the Behavior Analyst Certification Board certification examination at the behavior analyst (BCBA ) level and covers material from all required Behavior Analysis courses. The final program examination is administered toward the end of the student's second Spring semester. All courses for a letter grade must be passed with a grade of B or better.
