  1. Dr. Ramana V. Grandhi Professor and Director Ph.D. in Engineering Program Celebrating the Ph.D. Program’s first 100 Graduates in September, 2011

  2. What is the Ph.D.? • Ph.D. is a research-based degree • Coursework prepares you for research • Successful students focus on research objectives from the beginning

  3. Why earn a Ph.D.? A doctoral degree prepares you for a research-based career: • Industry • Government labs • Academia

  4. Ph.D. in Engineering Program • Transcends traditional engineering disciplines • Outstanding collaborative opportunities • Three engineering departments • Seven research focus areas

  5. The Ph.D. in Engineering Program is Multidisciplinary:

  6. Department of Biomedical, Industrial and Human Factors Engineering Focus Areas with BIE Faculty: • Industrial and Human Systems • Materials and Nanotechnology • Medical and Biological Systems • Sensor Signal and Image Processing

  7. Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering Focus Areas with ME Faculty: • Computational Design and Optimization • Controls and Robotics • Materials and Nanotechnology

  8. Department of Electrical Engineering Focus Areas with EE Faculty: • Controls and Robotics • Electronics, Microwaves, VLSI, and Nanotechnology • Sensor Signal and Image Processing

  9. External Review • In 2012, the Ph.D. Program was reviewed by a panel of engineering faculty from other universities • The results of the review were highly favorable • The reviewers made particularly excellent comments about the interdisciplinary nature of the program

  10. NRC Rankings In recently released 2010 NRC Rankings, WSU’s Ph.D. in Engineering Program was ranked 16th of 31 programs in Aerospace Engineering 16: Wright State University 18: University of Cincinnati 19: Ohio State University

  11. Fall 2012 Enrollment

  12. Since its inception in 1997, the Ph.D. In Engineering Program has awarded 124 doctoral degrees.
