代顿大学的材料工程研究生课程在俄亥俄州的赞助材料研究中排名第一，在全国范围内排名第二（由美国国家科学基金会排名）。与美国空军研究实验室（AFRL）和代顿大学研究所（UDRI）合作，我们拥有最先进的设施，前沿主题和现实世界的研究机会。在博士学位课程中，您将向材料专家学习，包括大学，UDRI，WPAFB和当地行业的工程师和科学家。这些专业人员经常担任演讲嘉宾，并介绍他们的最新研究成果。
We offer two doctoral programs: The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), and the Doctor of Engineering (D.E.), which is more industrially oriented. Both require course work and a dissertation, which is conducted over several years. Some of our students conduct their dissertation research in our campus labs, while others conduct research in locations such as WPAFB, UDRI and local industry with the appropriate arrangements. Course selection is customized to support each student's particular area of research. We offer a diverse array of material engineering classes, and students can also take graduate-level courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and other engineering disciplines as needed.
