The Infrastructure, Environmental, and Fluids (IEF) option of the EAS-PhD focuses on the research and design of infrastructure and systems in marine, coastal, and littoral environments. According to the United Nations, approximately 40% of the global population lives within 100 kilometers of the coast. Developing sustainable and resilient infrastructure for these communities will be critical in the face of global climate change. In this inter-disciplinary track students will be able to study and research marine engineering, environmental resource engineering, ocean and environmental science, fluid mechanics, geotechnical engineering, infrastructure, and systems engineering. The PhD degree program in Engineering and Applied Science (EAS) features contemporary, advanced interdisciplinary research and educational opportunities for students and faculty. Today's scientistengineerprofessional must be able to deal with the rapid pace of technological change, a highly interconnected world, and complex problems that require interdisciplinary approaches to advance fundamental understanding or to address pressing societal needs. The program's unique cross-cutting options provide students with the means to integrate and synthesize disciplinary depth with breadth of interests, vision, and skills for successful interdisciplinary research careers in industry or academia.
