Engage in cutting-edge engineering research under the guidance of distinguished faculty mentors through this premier program available at both our Long Island and New York City locations. Develop skills to navigate, maintain, and excel in dynamic, innovation-driven settings across bioengineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical engineering disciplines.
Dive into hands-on technological research and sophisticated subject matter alongside acclaimed faculty in our advanced research facilities. Choose from three forward-looking specializations:
Bioengineering: Explore breakthroughs in micro- and nano-scale technologies, wireless communication, power transmission, compact sensor design, on-chip signal processing, and biological system modeling to create intelligent, high-efficiency systems that are reliable and secure.
Electrical and Computer Engineering: Master core principles and advanced concepts in robotics, microelectronics, micro/nano systems, control mechanisms, image/signal analysis, network architecture, and radar/communication technologies.
Mechanical Engineering: Gain technologically enhanced expertise through research and coursework in structural mechanics, thermal dynamics, energy systems, biomechanical applications, micro/nano sensor development, control systems, and dynamic system analysis.
Program completion requires successful passage of both the qualifying exam and dissertation proposal defense, usually scheduled during the summer following your third year.
Our Ph.D. in Engineering curriculum equips you for advanced research positions in both corporate and academic settings, offering comprehensive understanding of engineering principles alongside specialized research capabilities for high-stakes professional environments.
You'll receive personalized mentorship from accomplished faculty researchers, many leading pioneering studies with grant support, utilizing top-tier equipment in facilities like the Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) and other specialized labs. Additionally, you'll collaborate with industry partners on practical projects, gaining valuable experience and professional networks in your field.
