基础设施和环境系统哲学博士

北卡罗莱纳大学夏洛特分校的跨学科基础设施与环境系统（INES）博士课程是为研究城市化地区面临的复杂挑战的学生而设计的。INES从一系列学术计划中聘用教师专业知识，包括土木和环境工程，地理和地球科学，工程管理，工程技术和建筑，以及相关的经济学和金融，生态，生物学和化学学科。INES学生对与环境和基础设施之间的相互作用有关的问题进行学术研究，以帮助社会应对经济竞争力，气候变化，能源使用以及自然与建筑环境之间的相互作用的挑战。几所国际大学已与INES合作进行教职和学生交流，以及对博士生的联合指导。
The Ph.D. in Infrastructure and Environmental Systems (INES) is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing: (a) innovations in design, analysis, construction and operation of urban, energy, and environmental infrastructures, (b) scientific analysis of environmental systems and contemporary sustainability issues, and (c) exploration of sustainable and renewable resources. The interplay between the environment and infrastructure is thoroughly studied by students as they confront the challenges facing urbanizing regions. INES engages a diverse group of talented faculty from the science, engineering and management disciplines. INES students are required to conduct interdisciplinary and original research that contributes new knowledge to the profession, as evidenced by scholarly publications in refereed journals. The program is intended to:Provide students with educational opportunities in science, engineering, and management, culminating in an interdisciplinary research-based Ph.D. in Infrastructure and Environmental Systems<br>Involve students in emerging issues pertaining to infrastructure and the environment for promoting regional and national economic and social development, as well as policy implications<br>Prepare students for careers as research scientists, resources and systems managers, professional engineers and educators who are capable of advancing knowledge in sciences, technology, and management relevant to infrastructure and environmental systems<br>Doctoral students engage in coursework that develops their competency for research. Students generate knowledge through research and become competent scientists and engineers. During this process, students acquire knowledge of foundation subjects and specialty areas within their focus of research and, as a result, they develop into professionals.<br><br>Specific outcomes of the INES program are that students completing the Ph.D. degree will demonstrate abilities to analyze and evaluate advanced topics in engineering and/or science, to communicate technical information effectively, to discover and create new knowledge, and to understand interactions among advanced topics in science, engineering, and management.
