Uniqueness of the Doctoral
Program
The participants in the interdisciplinary doctoral
program have access to the academic resources available in the College
of Engineering rather than to just those within a department.
Engineering and science departments outside the College of Engineering
have access to an engineering doctoral degree which expands and enhances
the student base, stabilizes the critical number of participating
faculty, and expands the academic resources available for the doctoral
program.
Faculty with common research interests can be identified and research
teams can be organized to take advantage of external research funding.
