Engineering (Ph.D)

The Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering is an interdisciplinary doctoral program offered on a collegiate basis. The participants in the interdisciplinary doctoral program have access to the academic resources available in the College of Engineering rather than to just those within a department.

Engineering and science departments outside the College of Engineering have access to an engineering doctoral degree which expands and enhances the student base, stabilizes the critical number of participating faculty, and expands the academic resources available for the doctoral program.

Faculty with common research interests can be identified and research teams can be organized to take advantage of external research funding.
