结构工程哲学博士

Lehigh的结构工程研究生课程专注于结构行为的分析和实验研究。学生将学习设计和构建复杂的大型结构系统所需的技术知识和解决问题的能力。多元化的教职研究使学生能够从事符合其兴趣和职业目标的项目。学生还将有机会与其他大学以及世界一流的工程公司合作。计划研究领域包括：先进的结构材料和系统，抗震结构，减轻基础设施的危害，智能基础设施系统，对新的和在役结构进行模拟测量和评估，以及基础设施的可靠性，维护和生命周期性能。Lehigh的学生在北美最大的结构测试设施中工作，可以进行地震工程，纤维增强复合材料，疲劳和断裂，智
Lehigh's graduate program in structural engineering focuses on analytical and experimental studies of structural behavior. Students develop the technical knowledge and problem-solving capabilities needed to design and construct complex, large-scale structural systems. A diversity of faculty research allows students to pursue projects that align with their interests and career goals. Students also have the opportunity to collaborate with other universities as well as world-class engineering firms. Program research areas include: advanced structural materials and systems, earthquake resistant structures, infrastructure hazard mitigation, intelligent infrastructure systems, simulation measurement and evaluation of new and in-service structures, and infrastructure reliability, maintenance, and life-cycle performance. Lehigh students work in structural testing facilities that are among the largest in North America, enabling research in earthquake engineering, fiber-reinforced composites, fatigue and fracture, development of smart structures, shipbuilding, and life-cycle engineering. Our Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems (ATLSS) Engineering Research Center is home to the largest three-dimensional test bed in the U.S. ATLSS also features a real-time, multi-dimensional earthquake testing facility and conducts seismic research as part of the George E. Brown, Jr. Network Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) Program. Other specialized facilities, such the 5-million-pound universal hydraulic testing machine in Fritz Laboratory, round out Lehigh's unique research capabilities in structural engineering.
