Dengr, Engineering

The Doctor of Engineering (DEng) program has as its objective the education of men and women to function at the highest levels of the engineering profession, with emphasis on solving problems which arise in the use of technology to benefit society at large. Since these problems frequently have a societal impact which is non-technical in nature and since technological advances are implemented through business and industry, the Doctor of Engineering program seeks to couple understanding of the characteristics of social and business institutions with high competence in solving engineering problems.

Following entry into the Doctor of Engineering program, students will complete a minimal 36-semester-credit-hour course of study prior to a one calendar year (4 credit hours per semester) internship in which they will extend their education in a practice-oriented environment such as an industrial organization.

The Doctor of Engineering program is administered by the College of Engineering with the Graduate and Professional School. The final oral/written examination for the Doctor of Engineering degree is administered by the student's advisory committee, as approved by the College of Engineering and the Grad School.
