Earning a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in aerospace or mechanical engineering involves completing original dissertation research along with advanced coursework beyond undergraduate or master's level studies. Our doctoral program focuses on providing rigorous academic training and research opportunities designed to equip graduates for careers in industrial research, government positions, or academic roles. Admission to the Ph.D. program is required before candidates can begin. Students must then select a research specialization and gain acceptance from a faculty advisor within the AME graduate program. The program culminates with a comprehensive examination and dissertation defense, ensuring candidates meet the exceptional requirements of this highest academic qualification.
