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 Department of Mechanical Engineering offers degree programs leading Master of Science (M.S.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees. To determine the appropriate course requirements the student must first choose one of the two areas of concentration in the Mechanical Engineering Department

PhD in Mechanical Engineering Technology develops manufacturing technologies in mechanical engineering by deepening the knowledge of natural and economic disciplines. The latest knowledge and methods of research in the field of technological processes and their management are developed and applied. The aim of the study is to acquire competencies and abilities for independent and team scientific and creative work. The graduate is prepared for research and teaching professions in structured departments of scientific and academic institutions and other technically oriented subjects and companies.

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 Engineering (ME) PhD program at South Dakota School ofMines and Technology allows students to reach the highest level of academicachievement. In addition to teaching in academia, program graduates canpursue careers at research centers in national laboratories and research &development (R&D) centers in automotive, aerospace, oil, and gas. Studentswill have a chance to work with faculty involved in research at the forefront oftheir fields and to publish in acclaimed journals.

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.

Acquiring a Ph.D. degree will equip students with advanced technical knowledge and skills in the areas of mechanical engineering through course work, independent creative research, and communication necessary to seek career opportunities in the industry, national labs, or academia.

The School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), NTU has an active and vibrant research environment with excellent R&D infrastructure. Our faculty hail from internationally renowned universities and at the forefront of their research fields. We pursue multi-disciplinary research and tackle issues of strategic interest.

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.

A Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at OSU allows students to specialize in a wide variety of relevant technical topics. Our engineers are key professionals in the invention, design, and manufacture of devices, vehicles, machines, and systems that meet the changing needs of our society.

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.

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

The doctoral study programme, Applied Mechanics, is focused on independent scientific and research projects in the field of mechanics. Its aim is to produce highly-educated and creative graduates capable of taking part in scientific research and professional applications of the laws of mechanics in mechanical engineering.

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.

Graduate study in aerospace engineering features a meaningful research project in areas such as aerodynamics, computational fluid dynamics, control theory, flight dynamics, orbital mechanics, propulsion, structures, or structural dynamics under the guidance and supervision of a senior faculty member.
