PhD in Civil Engineering - Materials Engineering in College Station United States | Texas A&M University

The materials engineering program utilizes materials science principles to develop enhanced construction materials for infrastructure projects. These materials typically consist of asphalt concrete, Portland cement concrete, steel-reinforced concrete, various aggregate types, and chemically stabilized soils.
Texas A&M's civil engineering program offers comprehensive coursework in materials engineering, encompassing subjects like materials science, construction materials, pavement design and management, micromechanics, and microstructure analysis and modeling.

Undergraduate students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills for material selection, specification, and quality assurance in civil engineering projects. Graduate students acquire advanced expertise to progress in materials engineering practice and innovation.
The Ph.D. program requires at least 64 credit hours of coursework and research beyond the M.S. degree (totaling 96 hours post-bachelor's). These requirements must meet both university standards and the specific criteria set by the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Materials Engineering program.
