To pursue a PhD in engineering, candidates typically need a research-focused master's degree in engineering or applied science from an accredited university.
Those holding degrees in related disciplines may be eligible but often need additional engineering coursework.
The Program Graduate Committee may request Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) scores when evaluating applications.
Our Mechanical Engineering graduate program fosters innovation through rigorous academic training and cutting-edge research initiatives.
We prioritize foundational scientific inquiry and maintain robust partnerships with industrial leaders across our curriculum.
Mechanical engineering professionals oversee the development, evaluation, implementation, and management of mechanical systems in diverse industries including transportation, energy production, heavy manufacturing, and materials processing. These engineers frequently expand their roles beyond technical work, occupying leadership positions in both corporate and government organizations.
An applicant for admission to a course of graduate studies leading to the PhD degree in engineering must normally be a graduate of a recognized university with a research-based master's degree in engineering or applied science.
Applicants with degrees in related fields will be considered but will normally require strengthening of their background in engineering.
At the discretion of the Program Graduate Committee, Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) may be required.
