PhD in Engineering Mechanics

The doctoral degree in this field, Engineering Science and Mechanics, can lead to many different academic and professional destinations. Graduate students shape their own path toward the degree. Most students join one of six affinity groups, each carrying out interdisciplinary research within the school, throughout the university and alongside outside institutions around the world. That collaborative approach attracts support from corporate, government and foundation sponsors. Students can also gain practical experience through graduate assistantships, the university's co-op program and its research institute, complementing their research with applied work. This is a doctoral degree taught at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia. Prospective students should consult the program page and the catalog for current requirements and research areas, then confirm admission steps, funding arrangements and deadlines with the university before applying.
