国际学生入学条件
To be recommended for candidacy for the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering, the student must, in addition to meeting the general Institute requirements, do the following:
Obtain the agreement of a professorial faculty member to serve as his or her academic and research adviser before the end of the third term of graduate residence at Caltech. In consultation with the adviser, the student must form a Ph.D. thesis advisory committee before the end of the fourth term. This committee shall consist of at least three members of the Caltech professorial faculty, with at least two members from the faculty in mechanical and civil engineering.
Pass both subject and research components of the oral candidacy examination before the end of the eighth term of graduate academic residence at Caltech. If the student has chosen a subject minor, an examination on the subject of that program may be included at the request of the discipline offering the subject minor.
Complete a minimum of 195 units of courses numbered 101 or above, that meet the required PhD program listed below. All units must be taken for grades and passed with a grade of at least a C, except for courses offered only on a pass/fail basis. The course work towards the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering is typically completed within the first three years of residency at Caltech.
Transcripts from all colleges or universities attended are required. Transcripts may be sent directly from the
Registrar of the institution you attended or transcripts issued directly to the applicant, and so marked, are
acceptable, and can be submitted online following the electronic submission process. If you attended Caltech as
an undergraduate, you must request an official transcript from the Office of the Registrar. We cannot obtain one
on your behalf.
Attach a CV or resume that includes the following, if applicable:
1) Teaching, professional, and vocational experience (include military service, but omit summer or part-time
work not relevant to your professional goals)
2) Research experience
3) Major academic recognitions, honors, and memberships in scientific, professional and honorary societies
4) Professional activities
5) Significant extracurricular activities
6) Conference presentations
7) Titles of publications,major papers, or theses authored or co-authored, if published provide citation. Do not
upload the entire document as the admissions committee often does not have the time to read a large file.
It is preferred that you either list or provide links or a URL where publications can be located.
Caltech does not have a minimum GPA requirement. However, most successful applicants have a US GPA of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and/or are in the top 5 to 10% of their class.
GPA's should only be reported for those schools attended within the United States. International GPA's or rankings should not converted to the standard US grade point average.
Applicants who have studied in the US for two or more years
Applicants with a degree from a college or university whose primary instruction is in English
Please note that regardless of any documentation of English proficiency submitted as part of the admissions process, all non-native English speakers who have not attended a school where English is the primary language of instruction will be screened prior to enrollment and may be required to take additional English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.
There is no minimum requirement for the English proficiency exams.

The Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering is focused on research. Study and research programs for the Ph.D. degree are individually planned to fit the interests and background of the student. A comprehensive research project resulting in an original contribution to the field documented by a dissertation is required. A minimum of three academic years in residence as a graduate student are required by the Institute, and two or more additional years are usually needed for preparation of the thesis.<br><br>ADVISING AND THESIS SUPERVISION<br>An interim adviser is appointed for each student upon admission to a graduate degree in mechanical engineering. The interim adviser will serve as the primary mentor until the student finds a research adviser. It is the responsibility of the student to find an academic and research adviser within three terms of graduate residence at Caltech. In consultation with the adviser, the student must form a Ph.D. thesis advisory committee within four terms of graduate residence at Caltech. This committee shall consist of at least three members of the Caltech professorial faculty, with at least two members from the faculty in mechanical and civil engineering. The committee shall meet as requested by the student. Further, the committee shall meet annually to review progress and to approve the registration of the student beyond the fifth year of graduate residence at Caltech.<br><br>The adviser and the thesis advisory committee provide the majority of mentoring to the student.
