L'ammissione al programma di dottorato nano-SE richiede una laurea o un master in una disciplina ingegneristica o scientifica basata sulle scienze fisiche. Il corso Introduction to Nanoscience (Introduzione alle nanoscienze) è offerto a studenti di diversa provenienza come introduzione alle nanotecnologie. Per sapere se i crediti di questo corso possono essere utilizzati per il conseguimento della laurea, rivolgersi al proprio dipartimento.

Il dottorato in Data Science and Engineering è un programma di collaborazione congiunto tra i dipartimenti di Ingegneria Elettrica e Informatica, Ingegneria Industriale e Matematica. La scienza dei dati è un campo interdisciplinare in rapida crescita che coinvolge ricercatori di molte discipline STEM con applicazioni che si ritrovano in tutte le discipline scientifiche e ingegneristiche. Il progresso della business analytics può essere attribuito alla scienza dei dati e ha dimostrato di poter sbloccare informazioni e intuizioni utili.

The PhD program prepares students for a career in research; advancing the frontiers of biomedical science and engineering with attention to generating new ideas for commercialization.

The PhD program in electrical engineering prepares students for a career in academia or research-focused careers in electrical engineering that support research commercialization prospects, drive innovation, and increase entrepreneurial opportunities.

Students must elect to pursue a specialization in Geology, Geological Engineering, or Mining Engineering. Those interested in paleontology at the PhD level enroll in the Geology Specialization. Each specialization has different background and program requirements. The available coursework and current faculty expertise support the following areas of concentration.

The doctor of philosophy program in materials engineering and science (MES) offers a student the opportunity to expand his/her knowledge and understanding of the science and technology of materials production, behavior, and applications. The student will undertake multidisciplinary approaches, combining the basic elements of both engineering and science, to the solution of materials-related problems. Because such problems are found in every science and engineering discipline, the degree applicant has considerable flexibility in the selection of the department in which to pursue dissertation research, within the confines of the applicant‘s academic preparation and interests. Candidates will study either a science or engineering emphasis within the MES Ph.D. program. For example, research emphasis may be placed on improving processes for the production of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, or other structural or electronic materials. Alternatively, the degree candidate may investigate mechanisms for improving material properties, which in turn, could lead to new or better applications. Classroom and individualized instruction will provide the necessary theory to complement such creative activities.
