Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering

SUNY Stony Brook University

Mechanical Engineering is one of the traditional engineering disciplines and is also at the forefront of modern technological innovations. Stony Brook places a strong emphasis on graduate programs that produce individuals with competent backgrounds in the basic principles and who are prepared for industrial research and development positions, university faculty posts, and leadership roles in government agencies. The Ph.D. program is for students interested in obtaining academic or research positions in colleges and universities or in government and commercial research laboratories. The program gives students a rigorous and thorough knowledge of a broad range of theoretical and practical research subject areas, and develops the ability to recognize and pursue significant research in Mechanical Engineering. Practically all students in the PhD program are supported as teaching assistants in the first year followed by a research assistantship on funded projects thereafter.
