Online Doctor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Engineering

The Interdisciplinary Engineering (ITDE) Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program allows students to develop unique expertise in emerging areas that may not be covered by traditional departmental degree programs and provides a path for those whose research interests cross engineering disciplines and/or college lines. Graduates with interdisciplinary engineering skill sets are highly sought after by employers, and the Doctor of Philosophy in interdisciplinary engineering poises graduates to become leaders in academic organizations, government and industry. Examples of previously awarded interdisciplinary topics include environmental engineering and public policy; and engineering and education.

About the program

• Staff/research engineers at a national laboratory (such as Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico) who, as part of their routine work function, ordinarily conduct research and engineering activities from which a scholarly activity can be used to support Ph.D. level research and dissertation
• Staff/research engineers in industry who, as part of their routine work function, ordinarily conduct research or technology development from which a scholarly activity can be used to support Ph.D. level research and dissertation.

Distance Ph.D. students are required to conduct the same level of scholarly research as on-campus students. This requirement can only be met by a student who is already immersed in research as part of their employment at a national laboratory or industry research development center, for example. In all cases, the research scope, access to resources (experimental or computational facilities, software, literature/library resources and technical advisement resources), and the faculty committee chair (ideally the entire thesis committee) will all be planned and agreed upon prior to the student’s admission.

Research advising will be conducted by the faculty chair/co-chair via face-to-face meetings and through emails and web-conference meetings. If there is an on-site committee member (for example, the student’s employer), regular research advising will take place face-to-face. Online Ph.D. students must make at least one annual visit to campus to interact with other students, including those in other doctoral programs. This can occur in the following ways:

• Visit College Station for a period of time to engage other students in the research group on campus
• Attend a conference/workshop where other students are presenting or attending.

  Please note additional remote engineering fees are added each semester.

The Online PhD in Engineering Timeline

Online PhD programs in engineering often offer a variety of specializations, and while some programs can be completed in three years, others can take up to six. Regardless of the timeline, the work students put into these PhD programs is usually intensely focused and in-depth. It can be important for students to consider how much time they want to commit to earning an online PhD when choosing an engineering program. See an example of what to expect during the application process and a sample four-year track timeline below.

Application Process

Because online engineering PhD programs typically cover a wide range of course material, students should investigate particular areas of interest and faculty members they want to work with when deciding where to apply. They may need to demonstrate both their interest and their previous knowledge to be admitted into an online PhD in engineering program.

Bachelor’s Degree and Official Transcripts

Applicants are often required to have a bachelor’s degree, preferably in engineering or a related area, through an accredited institution. Programs may ask to see official transcripts from all higher learning institutions that an applicant attended and may have minimum GPA requirements.

Previous Experience and Demonstrated Competence in Chosen Area

Applicants interested in pursuing a PhD in a hands-on engineering field like mechanical or hardware engineering may need to provide proof that they have experience in their field. Previous experience is usually submitted in a résumé, but may be required in a larger essay or in a program’s application.

Statement of Purpose

Online engineering programs may ask an applicant to write a statement of purpose that addresses why a student chose a particular program and elaborates on their ability to do advanced research; demonstrates their knowledge, passion, experience and skill; and notes an intended area of study.

Personal Statement

In addition to a résumé and a statement of purpose, programs may ask for a personal statement which may explore an applicant’s history and life experience and address what an applicant would like to get out of pursing an online PhD in engineering.

Individual programs may require applicants to demonstrate minimum scores in the math and verbal areas of the GRE from exams taken within a certain number of years.

Year 1 Milestones

Students may enter online PhD programs with a clear idea of which engineering department they will work in. However, the first year in an online PhD in engineering program is generally spent learning about each possible area of study and often serves to deepen research skills and technical experience.

Core Requirement Courses

Online engineering doctoral degree programs typically have a core series of classes that introduce students to basic engineering concepts like modeling technologies, common systems management principles and the economics of engineering.

Exploring Facility Possibilities

Though students in online PhD programs often do not learn in on-site labs, some programs offer facilities via satellite for distance learning students. Students interested in practical aspects of engineering, such as mechanical or computer engineering, may need to find places to gain tangible experience.

Selecting an Area of Specialization

Students generally will need to decide to pursue a narrowed course of engineering study by the end of their first year. Common specializations may include the theories and ethics of engineering; management and engineering; or civil, mechanical or computer engineering.

Years 2 and 3 Milestones

Students may spend a lot of time investigating their chosen field before finding an area that suits them. Some online PhD in engineering programs allow as many as six years before a student must propose a dissertation topic, and students can often spend that time building up their experiences and knowledge before completing their degree.

Specializing Further

Students who may not have begun their engineering program knowing exactly what they wanted to study will usually narrow their focus in their second year, choosing specific aspects of their chosen engineering specialization to explore more in-depth.

Refinement of Research Practices

Throughout an online engineering PhD program, students will typically design projects and conduct research within their fields, refine their approaches and execution techniques, and accept feedback from advanced faculty.

Approach Faculty Advisors

Students may choose online engineering doctoral programs based on possible areas of specialization and the faculty who work in these areas. As they work toward an original project for their dissertation, students may need to select an engineering faculty advisor in their field and begin discussions about this final academic work.

Qualifying Exam

A qualifying examination is usually delivered by engineering faculty members familiar with a student’s chosen field of study. It may include an oral component in addition to a written test. The exam is meant to determine each student’s ability to apply general concepts and methods in their chosen field. Students may also have to complete a research proposal exam before beginning work on their engineering dissertation.

Year 4 Milestones

The final year of an online PhD in engineering student’s degree is often spent working on their dissertation. All core class requirements and electives are usually completed by this time, allowing students time to focus on this final project.

Dissertation Preparation

Dissertations will likely address an aspect of engineering that could be improved upon or altered in some way. This project is generally an example of how a student will contribute to their engineering field.

Scheduling Final Exam and Dissertation Defense

Online PhD in engineering programs may ask for certain scheduling applications or dissertation draft submissions before a student attempts to earn their engineering degree. These application and submission deadlines may be as many as three months out.

Graduation Requirements

Online engineering PhD students who have completed all of their coursework to their instructors’ satisfaction will often be well-prepared to deliver their final dissertation and defend their expertise to a panel of fellow experts. Tests throughout online doctoral engineering programs may help to ensure that any student who makes it to this stage is academically committed to expanding knowledge in their chosen field.

Dissertation

An engineering dissertation often needs to follow professional formatting guidelines. Students should be sure if they are working with sensitive or confidential information not to include those aspects in their dissertation as these documents are often considered public.

An oral exam often requires a student to justify the methods and conclusions of their dissertation and to explain how their work relates and contributes to the existing body of knowledge in their engineering specialty.

Core Principles and Skills Learned in an Online Engineering PhD Program

Phd in engineering, refined research techniques.

Students generally enter online engineering PhD programs with basic knowledge in their area of specialty. These advanced academic programs often teach students how to research and explore current knowledge on an even deeper level.

Application of Principles

Online engineering PhD program graduates typically teach students general concepts and methods, and while students learn how to practice these techniques, they may also develop the ability to apply these principles to their own specialized areas and any other areas of their field they may encounter.

Continuing Education

Engineering is a field that is often adapting and changing with new technologies. As this field advances, PhD program graduates typically have the research abilities and connections within both professional and academic fields to keep up with these changes.

REQUIREMENTS

Program of Study

A Ph.D. Program of Study form must be submitted for approval by your faculty advisor and the Woodruff School Graduate Committee before the end of your first semester of doctoral study.

Upon preliminary approval, the Ph.D. Program of Study will be forwarded to the Woodruff School Graduate Committee for final approval.  In preparing your program of study, students should be aware that graduate courses are usually offered only once a year and, in some cases, even less frequently. 

Any deviation from your proposed program of study should be approved in advance of taking the new course work by submitting a revised program of study.  These revisions may be submitted at any time, except the semester in which you are graduating.  Revisions during the semester in which you are graduating must be made on or before the first day of classes.  This will allow time for the review and approval process prior to the close of registration for classes.

The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree recognizes proficiency and high achievement in research. The items below are mandatory for all Ph.D. students.

The doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering requires 36 semester hours of coursework, including at least a 6-hour credit minor 1,2,3 (on a letter-grade basis) beyond the bachelor's degree or its equivalent. Course grades must be C or higher to satisfy PhD degree requirements.

Must be in a coherent subject area appropriate to ME, or related combinations. If you completed a master's thesis in this area, it may count for nine semester hours toward this requirement (a copy of the M.S. thesis abstract must be attached to the Ph.D. program of study form). ME 6753 , ME 6789 , and ME 6799 do not meet this requirement.

The minor courses should preferably outside of the area directly related to Ph.D. research or the principal expertise of the student.

CETL classes taken will only satisfy the Minor Area.

Qualifying Exam

The objective of the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination is to assess your general knowledge of mechanical engineering or nuclear and radiological engineering. 

Grade Point Average Requirement

Must be registered for the semester in which you take the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination and have full graduate standing. A minimum GPA of 3.3 is required to take the qualifying examination.

Examination Schedule

If a student already has a master's degree and matriculate as a Ph.D. student, the student must take the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination within the first year of your initial enrollment date in the Woodruff School graduate program.  Those who matriculate with a bachelor's degree must take the qualifying examination within the two year period of your initial enrollment date in the Woodruff School graduate program.

For example, if enrollment were Fall 2019, a student with master’s degree and matriculated as a Ph.D. student should have taken the qualifying exams by Spring 2020. If enrollment were Spring 2020, exam would be taken by Fall 2020.

For example, if enrollment were Fall 2019, a student with bachelor’s degree and matriculated as a Ph.D. student should have taken the qualifying exams Spring 2021. If enrollment were Spring 2020, exam would be taken by Fall 2021.

Examination Format:

The Exam will consist of one oral exam of the student’s subject knowledge, lasting a maximum of one hour, based on three (3) technical publications selected by the exam committee based on the student’s research field. The semester before taking the qualifying exam, the student will prepare a one-page summary of his/her research project. The written summary will be used to identify the student’s research area and describe the various disciplines and sub-disciplines of relevance to the research.

During the exam, the exam committee members ask the student questions about the papers that can cover the papers’ technical contents, the research methods used, and other aspects as indicated in the evaluation rubric. A standard rubric will be used for evaluating the exam. The rubric will be readily available to students and faculty (e.g., included in the Graduate Handbook). Assessment criteria include proficiency in summarizing, understanding, and evaluating research literature. Each criterion will be evaluated as Proficient, Satisfactory, or Unsatisfactory, with the rubric describing the performance characteristics for each rating. The exam may be retaken one time, within a specified period of time.

RCR Training

Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (1 course, 1 hour, pass/fail).  Georgia Tech requires that all PhD students complete an RCR requirement that consists of an online component and in-person training. The online component is completed during the student’s first semester enrolled at Georgia Tech.  The in-person training is satisfied by taking PHIL 6000 or their associated academic program’s in-house RCR course.

Seminar Requirement

All Ph.D. students must register for Seminar  8014  (2 credit hours- no letter grade- attend at least 22 seminars).

The course is offered on a pass/fail basis and therefore is  not  included in the 42 semester-hours degree requirement.  Attendance at a minimum of 22 seminars per credit hour is necessary to pass, with the attendance record being cumulative from semester to semester. Registration for these credits occurs after you attend the requisite number of seminars.

Teaching Practicum Requirement

All Woodruff School Ph.D. students are required to complete three semester hours of Teaching Practicum ( ME 7757 / NRE 7757 ) during the course of their doctoral studies.

Students enrolled in the teaching practicum will work closely with a Woodruff School faculty member in all aspects of teaching a course, including the preparation and delivery of a limited number of lectures (usually in the presence of the course professor) tutorials, evaluation of homework, laboratories, and examinations.  The faculty member of record will maintain full responsibility for the course.  In addition to the mentored teaching component, students enrolled in the practicum must attend weekly lecture discussions focused on engineering pedagogy, ethics, professional development and leadership. You must do the teaching component and the classwork in the same term.

 Students may  not  register for this course during the semester in which you expect to receive the Ph.D. ME 7757 / NRE 7757 is offered on a pass/fail basis and  cannot  be used to satisfy the 42 semester-hours course work requirement.  Students are not allowed to perform GTA responsibilities in the course for which they are participating in the Teaching Practicum.

Proposal Presentation

The objective of the Ph.D. Proposal is to allow an early assessment of your chosen topic of research for the satisfactory completion of the doctoral degree.  The proposal should delineate your specific area of research by stating the purpose, scope, methodology, overall organization, and limitations of the proposed study area. The proposal should include a review of the relevant literature and indicate the expected contribution of the research. An oral presentation of the proposal must be undertaken open to public.

Dissertation Presentation

The defense must be at least six (6) months after your proposal presentation.

After adequate preparation, you must complete an original and authoritative investigation in your chosen field that culminates in a written dissertation describing that investigation.  An oral defense of the dissertation must be undertaken open to public. 

Georgia tech/seoul national university joint degree

The Georgia Tech/Seoul National University Joint doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering was established for the purpose of a research and teaching partnership with one of the finest universities in the world—number one in Korea. This program provide global opportunities for our students and provide potential for faculty and student exchanges between two campuses.

Program Requirements:

1. The PhD student in the joint program is co-supervised by both co-advisors during his/her stays at both GT and SNU. It should be true collaboration in the spirit of a joint degree program and should be reflected in jointly authored papers, joint conference presentations, etc.

2. Program of study has to be filled and approved during the first semester in the program. It should satisfy the coursework requirements of the home institution. The only additional requirement - a student is required to take at least one graduate level course while in residence at the host institution, which would result in the minimal exposure to the curriculum of each of the host institutions, both in terms of content and delivery style. This course could be counted towards the total credit hour requirement for the PhD degree.

3. The qualifying exams will have to be taken only at the home (originating) institution based on its “local” rules and requirements (the other partner institution will honor the results).

4. Prior to proposal presentation, the GT ME Graduate Committee will have to approve the thesis reading committee, which should be chaired by 2 co-advisors from SNU and GT and must consist of no fewer than 5 members with at least 2 members from each institution.

5. The proposal announcement rules of GT/SNU must be followed and the proposal presentation/defense is strongly preferred to be conducted jointly by the full reading committee (i.e., at the same time, via a video link or by committee members traveling to the same location – either GT or SNU). Under the special circumstances, two separate presentations at each institution can be conducted with the faculty feedback formally exchanged among the reading committee members between the presentation events. This should be coordinated by the co-advisors and approved by the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, and only a single pass/fail decision must be reached independent of whether one joint or two separate presentations are conducted.

6. There is a GT ME requirement of at least 6 months passing between the proposal presentation and the thesis defense data. It must be adhered regardless of the rules at SNU and whether a student comes to the joint program from GT or SNU.

7. The PhD thesis defense must be conducted jointly, be announced 2 weeks in advance and be open to public, with an entire reading committee present either in person (preferred) or via a video link.

8. The GT ME has two additional requirements of seminars and the teaching practicum. For students entering the joint program from GT as a home institution, these requirements must be met before graduation. For students “originating” from SNU, the teaching practicum requirement could be waived by the GT ME Graduate Committee under certain circumstances due to logistic challenges (it must be petitioned by the student with justification). The seminar requirement must be satisfied via seminars or equivalent events attended either at GT or SNU. The record of attendance must be kept and supplied to GT ME Graduate Office upon completion. 9. The standard GT ME forms need to be used in submitting all requirement documentations that accompany steps 1-8.
