Ph.D. in Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)

University of Toledo

The Ph.D. program in Engineering with a concentration in Mechanical Engineering is interdisciplinary and provides its students with an opportunity to study in a broad range of areas within mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and other engineering areas within the College of Engineering and College of Medicine and Life Sciences. Ph.D. students, combining simulation and experimentation, could work at the intersection of materials engineering, medicine, and advanced manufacturing on a wide range of projects from innovative biomedical devices and technologies to advanced bearing, ice detection and prevention, additive manufacturing, human movements, robotics, recycling, fatigue, and innovative coatings. These projects include experimental characterization as well as multi-scale modeling and data analysis. Learning Outcomes 1) Demonstrate technical proficiency in topics aligned with their focus area. 2) Deliver clear and concise written and oral presentations for doctoral level course projects. 3) Deliver clear and concise written and oral presentations of their doctoral research. 4) Generate high quality engineering research that is original, significant and consequential, and is publishable in high quality journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings. 5) Contribute to research proposals in collaboration and / or under the guidance of the faculty advisor. 6) Teach undergraduate engineering courses.
