in Mechanical Engineering
- Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in
Mechanical Engineering
The requirement for this degree is 30 credit
hours of approved graduate course work. At
least 18 hours must be taken in mechanical
engineering, 6 hours in mathematics, and 6
cognate credits. Up to 6 credit hours of
research or 9 credit hours of thesis can be
taken as part of a 30-credit-hour requirement.
Research can be done in an industrial
environment ('practicum'). Details of course
requirements and fields of specialization will
be furnished by the department upon
request.
A doctoral committee is appointed for each
applicant to supervise the investigative work
of the student and election of graduate courses
of instruction and passing the qualifying
examination. Candidacy is achieved when the
student demonstrates competence in his/her
field of knowledge through completion of
courses and passing the preliminary
examination.
The doctoral degree is conferred after the
student presents the result of their
investigation in the form of a dissertation, and in recognition of marked ability and
scholarship in a relatively broad field of
knowledge.
The Department will furnish details of

that describes the general procedure leading to
the doctorate is available in the Graduate
