Candidates for the Ph.D. degree are given intensive exposure to a specific field of engineering research as well as continued study of a broad range of engineering fundamentals. The main focus is individual research, and students are expected to expand the frontiers of knowledge in their area of endeavor. Moreover, candidates learn, absorb, and otherwise experience the general philosophy, methods, and concepts of research and scholarly inquiry so that after graduation they can approach significant problems that may or may not be related to their doctoral research. Acceptance into the full-time Ph.D. program is generally accompanied by departmental financial support.<br><br>Ph.D. candidates must complete a total of 30 credit hours of coursework. This includes the 4 core courses. Of the remaining 6 courses, at least two must be Chemical Engineering graduate courses. Graduate level courses from other departments may be approved on a case-by-case basis. A research project and doctoral dissertation must be completed, providing additional credit hours towards the doctoral degree. The dissertation is presented and defended in a public oral examination and should contain a significant new contribution to knowledge in Chemical Engineering. financial support.
