Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Engineering

The School of Engineering focuses on unique and innovative clustering of faculty. In terms of research groups, engineers of all types team together with non-engineers to tackle some of the biggest problems facing engineering and science today. Since this range of topics is so broad, prospective students are strongly encouraged to browse the engineering website to further explore individual research activities. Students usually identify an advisor during the early stages of graduate study and are often involved in independent research from the start of the program. Each student, in collaboration with their advisor, develops a unique program of study that includes both coursework and independent research, and prepares the students for careers in academia and industry.
