Course summary

The Ph.D. Program in Materials Science and Engineering(MSE) is the first such program on the Tuskegee University campus. Building upon excellence in teaching and research the Ph.D. program is designed to serve the emerging multi-disciplinary challenges of science and technology. The program is spearheaded by the Center for Advanced Materials (T-CAM), which is the largest multi-disciplinary research facility on the Tuskegee University campus. A broad spectrum of areas connected with materials science and engineering are open for Ph.D. level research. With the introduction of the doctoral program, and with the substantial increase in the number of funded research programs, the computational activity has almost doubled during the last few years. The Computational Mechanics Laboratory traces back its beginning to 1992. It has grown into a modern computing facility equipped with state of the art computers and workstations. The following is a brief description of the modeling work that are currently being pursued: High Strain Rate Modeling, Simulation of Ballistic Impact, FEM Analysis of Composite Isogrid Cylinders.

Entry requirement for international students

Candidates who have completed a Master’s Degree (M.S.) in areas related to Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics are granted direct admission to the Doctoral Program in MSE. Candidates who have completed a Bachelor’s Degree (B.S.) in areas of Engineering, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics may also be admitted. They are required to complete an additional 24 credits of graduate study. If necessary, the student may be required to take some undergraduate courses, as prerequisites. Competitive candidates for admission should have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher in all previous studies and have completed the general and subject GRE.
