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. Linear and non-linear fracture mechanics theories have been developed to evaluate the resistance of materials to crack propagation (fracture toughness). These theories are based on the assumptions that materials display general linearity between stress and strain with very small plastic deformation. A variety of modern materials such as polymers, and their composites, superalloys, ceramics, etc. violates these assumptions. Exploration of the viscoelastic, viscoplastic and superplastic properties of advanced materials demands a focused and innovative study of their micro and macro mechanical phenomena relevant to their long-term performance. These phenomena encompass deformation processes induced by the applied mechanical forces accelerated by environmental challenges. Research is needed in this area to study the micromechanical phenomena of advanced materials and relate them to their durability or long term performance.
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.
