Course summary

The Ph.D. program in mechanical engineering is for students who plan careers in industrial or governmental research and development laboratories or problem-oriented agencies, as well as in the academic field. Alternatively, students can choose Ph.D. program in Systems Engineering, listed below. Students can begin doctoral study on a part-time basis, availing themselves of late afternoon or evening courses while working full time in local industry. However, later phases of study and research will require full-time devotion to the program. Students must also fulfill a residency requirement. The field of mechanical engineering includes areas such as dynamics, vibrations and noise, energy systems, automotive engineering design, thermal energy transport, fluid transport, experimental stress analysis, solid mechanics, manufacturing processes and materials, tribology, numerical techniques, optical inspection, mechanics of metal forming, and fasteners and bolted joints. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is concentrating its efforts in these areas at the Ph.D. level. To fulfill the requirements of a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, a student must satisfy the following coursework: Mathematics APM 541 Mathematical Analysis for Eng. I; APM 542 Mathematical Analysis for Eng. II.

Entry requirement for international students

The Ph.D. programs are designed for students with academic backgrounds in engineering and computing. Students with backgrounds in mathematics or the physical sciences may also be admitted to the programs, but they will be required to build up basic engineering/computing knowledge through relevant coursework. Normally a master’s degree from an accredited institution is required for admission; however, students with outstanding undergraduate records may apply directly for admission to the doctoral programs. Admission is highly selective; applicants should present transcripts of all previous academic work and recommendations from three faculty members of their most recent study program who can evaluate their scholarly achievement and potential. Applicants must submit scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) if they graduated from an institution not accredited by a regional accrediting agency. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) must be submitted by applicants who are graduates of programs taught in a language other than English.
