机械工程哲学博士

哲学博士学位（PhD）通常需要四到五年的全日制学习，超过学士学位。博士学位没有正式的课程要求。学生将在其顾问的帮助下开发一项涉及研究和课程工作的技术程序。博士候选人必须通过部门考试（在研究生学习的第三学期末进行），通过研究生委员会的口试（通常在全日制学习的第二年或第三年进行），提交博士学位论文并通过最后的论文答辩。
Our PhD Program offers students opportunities to work in labs specializing in a broad range of mechanical engineering research. The Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering prepares students for careers in research and academia. Our faculty are investigating a diverse range of research areas like fluid mechanics, renewable energy technologies, materials processing and manufacturing, prosthetics, diagnostic tools, nanotechnology, and much more. As a PhD candidate, you will share in the excitement of discovery as you collaborate with our faculty on cutting edge research. You will also acquire strong, independent research skills and begin to develop your own skills and reputation as a member of the research community. Because the advisor/graduate relationship is the cornerstone of a successful PhD experience, all new PhD candidates are carefully matched with faculty advisors, based on mutual research interests. The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) normally requires four to five years of full-time study beyond the baccalaureate degree. There is no formal course requirement for a doctoral degree. The student develops a technical program involving both research and coursework with the help of his or her faculty advisor. PhD candidates must pass the departmental exam, the Graduate Board Oral exam, submit a doctoral dissertation, and pass a final dissertation defense.
