Doctor's degree Materials Engineering - South Dakota School of Mines and Technology

Doctor's degree Materials Engineering from South Dakota School of Mines and Technology is a Campus Ph.D Materials Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The doctor of philosophy program in materials engineering and science (MES) offers a student the opportunity to expand his/her knowledge and understanding of the science and technology of materials production, behavior, and applications. The student will undertake multidisciplinary approaches, combining the basic elements of both engineering and science, to the solution of materials-related problems. Because such problems are found in every science and engineering discipline, the degree applicant has considerable flexibility in the selection of the department in which to pursue dissertation research, within the confines of the applicant?s academic preparation and interests. Candidates will study either a science or engineering emphasis within the MES Ph.D. program. For example, research emphasis may be placed on improving processes for the production of metallic, polymeric, ceramic, or other structuralor electronic materials . Alternatively, the degree candidate may investigate mechanisms for improving material properties, which in turn, could lead to new or better applications. Classroom and individualized instruction will provide the necessary theory to complement such creative activities. Example areas of specialization include but are not limited to Activities of Multicomponent Systems Computational Modeling Polymer Synthesis Concrete Technology Corrosion Inhibition Development of Multiphase Materials Fiber Reinforced Composites Geotechnology Magnetic Nanocomposites Nanoscale Electronic Materials Polymer Matrix Composites Reaction Kinetics Semiconductor Materials and Devices Strengthening Mechanisms Surface Chemistry of Flotation Thermophysical Properties Thin Films View more details on South Dakota School of Mines and Technology .
