Doctor's degree Engineering Systems - Colorado School of Mines

Doctor's degree Engineering Systems from Colorado School of Mines is a Campus Ph.D Systems Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Engineering Systems program offers a graduate multidisciplinary education with the option of including a specialization in one of the three disciplines: civil, electrical or mechanical engineering. The program demands academic rigor and depth, yet also addresses the real-world problems of advanced engineering and technology. Research The Division of Engineering is always on the cutting edge of research. Much of the research occurs at the intersections of the traditional civil, electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines. It is also common to pursue research and education at the intersections of the other disciplines represented at Mines. Our main research focus lies in the following six areas: Geotechnical Engineering: Computational and analytical geomechanics, probabilistic geotechnics, experimental and theoretical investigations into coupled flows and unsaturated soil behavior, and intelligent geo-systems including geo-construction sensing and automation. Structural Engineering: High strength and self-consolidating concrete, experimental and computational structural dynamics, vibration control, damage diagnosis, and advanced data processing and analysis for sensory systems, disaster assessment and mitigation, and structural nondestructive evaluation and health monitoring. Sensing, Communications and Control: Robotics, mechatronics, intelligent structures and geosystems, energy and power, materials processing, telecommunications, bioengineering, mining and construction. Material Mechanics: Microstructural evolution and control, nano-mechanics, functionally graded materials, biomaterial analysis and characterization, artificial biomaterial design and fracture mechanics. Energy Systems and Power Electronics: Industrial issues associated with power, power electronics and renewable energy systems, intelligent control systems , fuzzy control, real-time monitoring and advanced diagnostic systems, transformer and breaker monitoring, smart substations, power quality, advanced power electronics, and remote sensing, security, and control. Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences: Clean energy systems , materials processing, combustion and bioengineering. Degree Program The Division of Engineering offers a Doctor of Philosophy in engineering systems with specialties in civil, electrical or mechanical engineering. Graduate students in engineering systems may elect not to declare a specialty. These students, whether masters or doctoral, must complete a core curriculum: EGES 501 - Advanced Engineering Measurements (4 credits) EGES 502 - Interdisciplinary Modeling and Simulation (4 credits) EGES 504 - Engineering Systems (Mechanical) Seminar (1 credit) Doctor of Philosophy The Ph.D. program requires 72 credit hours beyond the bachelor's degree . All doctoral students must pass a qualifying examination, which is intended to gauge the student's capability to pursue research in engineering systems . Students must also successfully write and defend a dissertation of his/her research. To complete a doctoral program, students must take 15 credits in a minor area of study, 27 credits of technical electives, and 24 credits of research in addition to the above core curriculum.
