What to Expect
If you come into our program directly following an undergraduate program, you can expect to invest about five years working on your PhD; if you enter with a master’s degree, you can complete your PhD in four years.
Currently, we offer five curricular tracks:
- Biomechanics
- Dynamics, Control and Manufacturing
- Fluids and Thermal Sciences
- Solid Mechanics
- Online and other courses
While each track varies in focus, all programs of study must include a minimum of 18 credit hours of thesis research, six breadth and basic science courses and six graduate-level courses in mechanical or aerospace engineering. Usually, these courses follow a logical development of a branch of mechanics, dynamics and design determined in conjunction with your dissertation advisor to meet the objectives of your dissertation research topic.
Growing up with shows like Star Trek intensified my desire to expand humanity’s reach and go where no man has gone before; and while space exploration has not yet reached the romanticized heights of the fiction I grew up with, I hope to inch society closer to that goal through robotics and aerospace engineering.
