There are no formal course requirements for the Ph.D. degree beyond the colloquium requirements. Course requirements are established solely by the doctoral committee. Typically a degree requires 30 or more course credits beyond the M.S. degree. The Graduate School requirements for the candidacy examination are: The examination must be taken within three semesters of entry into the doctoral program, not including summer sessions. You must be registered as a full-time or part-time degree student for the semester in which the examination is taken. You are required to demonstrate a high level of competence in the use of the English language, including reading, writing, and speaking. We strongly encourage you to take your qualifying exams as early as possible. The exam will be administered each fall and spring semester. The Graduate Programs Office will e-mail dates to all graduate students. The qualifying exam will consist of three sections. Each section will include a written and an oral exam, in the same topic area. Students may select topic areas for the three sections from these topics: Solid Mechanics, Rigid Body Mechanics, System Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Fundamentals of Engineering Analysis, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat Transfer.
