DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Ph.D.) PROGRAM:
The objective of the Ph.D. program is to prepare the students for teaching and research careers through
- advanced and specialized course work for a broader and deeper knowledge of chemical engineering, and
- dissertation work involving independent and original research on frontline topics.
The Ph.D. program in Chemical Engineering consists of a minimum of 21 credits of course work for M.Sc. degree holders and a dissertation carried out according to the regulations of the Institute of Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering (Institute). Students are also expected to complete Ph.D. Thesis work of 120 ECTS credits.
The required courses for the Ph.D. program are
1. ChE 637: Advanced Mass Transfer. If this course was completed during the student's M.Sc. program, another 600 level course offered by the Institute should be taken instead.
2. Specified Elective: A course on System Dynamics or Mathematics/Mathematical Applications from the Institute upon the approval of the advisor. This course may be selected amongst but not limited to:
- ChE 578 Dynamic Optimization of Chemical Processes
- ChE 672 Advanced Process Control
- 500-600 level courses from the Mathematics Department
- ChE 556 Applied Mathematics and Modeling for Chemical Engineers II
- CE 503 Mathematical Methods in Engineering
- EE 572 Mathematical Methods for Signal Processing
- ME 501, 502 Advanced Engineering Mathematics I, II
- ME 632 Approximate Solution Techniques
- PHYS 521, 522 Mathematical Methods of Physics I, II
3. Electives: At least two non-ChE courses offered by the Institute should be completed to fulfill the Elective Course requirements. All Elective Courses are subject to the approval of the graduate advisor.
Students without a M.Sc. degree should complete 42 credits of course work. These students are expected to take all courses of the M.Sc. program (24 credits) and the remaining 18 credits should be completed with ChE 637, Specified Elective, and 4 Elective courses from the Institute.
