Engineering Science and Mechanics (Ph.D.)

A Doctor of Philosophy with a Major in Engineering Science and Mechanics can serve as the launching point for a wide variety of academic and career destinations.

Graduate students choose uniquely challenging paths toward their intended degrees.

Most will work within one of six affinity groups, each of which conducts a variety of interdisciplinary research initiatives within the School, across campus, and with other universities around the world. This interdisciplinary approach to research attracts a broad array of corporate, governmental and research foundation support.

Engineering and Business (Minor)

The Engineering and Business Minor is offered by the Colleges of Engineering and Business. It is a course of study that enables undergraduate students in Engineering and Business to learn one another's language through innovative coursework and interdisciplinary team projects focused on solving real-world problems presented by the Program’s Corporate Affiliates.

Energy Systems (Minor)

The Energy Systems Minor is a 15-hour multidisciplinary in-depth study of energy systems. Students select an area relevant to energy that is within the scope of the their chosen program. A terminal “capstone” or project course provides an opportunity for students from multiple disciplines to work together in multidisciplinary teams on a significant project in the energy area. Appropriate projects are either solicited from industry or faculty experts.

Electrical Engineering (BS/MS)

This program allows highly qualified students to receive the Bachelor of Science in either Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and a master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. The joint BS/MS degree program affords undergraduate electrical or computer engineering majors the opportunity to broaden their studies and improve their career prospects.
