The doctoral program in engineering prepares students to conduct research and lead innovation in industry, academia or government. Research spans cybersecurity, engineering pedagogy, applied physics, materials and infrastructure, and micro and nanoscale technologies. Students work closely with faculty, join cross-disciplinary teams and help develop practical solutions for technical challenges.
The program emphasizes ethical, responsible scholarship and professional practice. Graduates may pursue careers as university professors, research scientists, engineering directors, systems engineers, materials scientists or government researchers. Students join a research community where their ideas can shape future engineering work.
The college's graduate studies office handles questions about the program, admissions and research opportunities for prospective doctoral candidates, and it can help applicants understand the research focus areas before they apply.
