Engineering,
PHD
The College of Engineering offers a college-wide doctoral degree program - the Ph.D. in Engineering. It is designed for students who have graduate-level training in engineering, physical sciences, or mathematics, and who wish to carry out doctoral-level research in engineering. Engineering research is an inherently interdisciplinary activity, and the faculty associated with the Ph.D. in Engineering are drawn from all departments in the College. They represent a wide variety of technical backgrounds and interests. The size of the College fosters cooperative research among disciplines. The program offers the motivated student an opportunity to acquire the kind of broad-based background in engineering and applied science that is difficult to obtain in more conventional, narrowly-focused, discipline-specific programs.
Graduates of this program will have acquired a background in diverse engineering approaches that will make them very effective in their advanced-technology careers in research, academia, or industry.
