113 Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering PhD Degree Programs

The program is primarily focused on modern theoretical (cognitive) and practical (applied) issues in mechanical engineering, in particular: power and thermal engineering, efficient and ecological energy systems, operation diagnostics of marine combustion engines: diesel and turbine, Stirling engines powered by low temperature sources

UTCB is a member of the European University EU—CONEXUS—Smart, Urban, Coastal, Sustainability, along with 8 other partners.

Subject to the stipulations of General Academic Regulations G42, a master's degree is required for admission to studies for a Ph.D.

The objective of the Doctoral program is to train young scientists with up-to-date knowledge and techniques in the fast growing and of particular importance for the society field of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. The students are specialized in one of the research areas of the program (Biomedical Engineering, Energy Systems, Manufacturing) with the aim to create proper conditions for a successful professional career in the public or private sector, in industry, in academic institutions or research organizations.

The objective of Mechanical Engineering doctoral studies is to prepare future leaders in mechanical engineering capable of practical design and creative application of computational methods for the development and research of mathematical models of real-world objects and systems.

The Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering program offers specialized research opportunities in the areas of advanced manufacturing and metrology, computational mechanics and materials, motorsports engineering, bioengineering, fluid mechanics and thermal science, dynamics and controls, and battery engineering.

The Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest technical-scientific areas of knowledge assuming a predominant role in the majority of the industrial activities. However, manufacturing and process industries over the world are facing unprecedented competitiveness challenges. Companies must provide new solutions and products at an ever-increasing rate, being flexible to meet changing market conditions as fast as possible. Moreover, it is fundamental to maximize productivity by reducing waste and energy consumption and by optimizing existing physical assets and human resources. The PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aveiro aims to contribute to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and technological challenges in the Mechanical Engineering field.

The mechanical and industrial engineering doctorate program produces graduates with a depth of knowledge in mechanical or industrial engineering while allowing students to engage in cutting-edge, cross-disciplinary research. The flexible curriculum encourages students to gain domain-specific knowledge from courses offered throughout the college’s portfolio of engineering programs. The curriculum, coupled with the depth of knowledge in mechanical or industrial engineering disciplines, creates graduates who are ready to tackle the world’s most pressing societal and industrial challenges. The program develops world-class researchers who can capitalize on the most promising discoveries and innovations to develop interdisciplinary solutions for real-world challenges.

The purpose of the qualification is to develop an engineer with advanced abilities in applying fundamental engineering sciences and/design and synthesis, and related principles independently to specific problems of society at large.

Students in Florida Tech’s doctoral program experience an intimate learning environment where professors mentor and collaborate with students as professionals. Class sizes are small and the environment promotes innovative, independent thinking to develop graduates who are positioned for leadership.

We offer a robust foundation in mechanical sciences and cutting-edge research techniques. Our commitment to pioneering research ensures graduates are well-equipped to make substantial contributions to state-of-the-art knowledge in the field and build strong connections with the local industry in Silicon Valley.

The programme of Automatics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Space Technologies is aimed at teaching doctoral students research methodology, innovative and novel research techniques and measurement methods, as well as the methods of implementing work results and creative problem solving.

The students receive strong theoretical, research methodology, and scientific backgrounds, and complete their research individually, with some guidance from their supervisors. Supervision is offered by the top experts and wood scientists in Hungary. The topics are typically linked to industrial research or innovation projects so that Sopron doctoral graduates have not only strong theoretical backgrounds but are very practical scientists as well.

It is the main PhD study programme in Lithuania directly related to knowledge of creation of high added-value solutions for various sectors of industry: aerospace, water, ground and air transport, renewable and nuclear energy. The accounting of such strategic energy resources, as oil, gas, electricity, etc. depends on measurable quantities.
