About twenty faculty members from various disciplines of Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics,Mathematics and Computer Science are part of the Ph.D. program. The faculty members are involved with both basic and applied research related to current interests to a variety of defense and commercial areas. The Ph.D. program is designed such that students may joineither upon completion of the Baccalaureate or the Masters degree in Engineering, Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics. The curriculum stresses the fundamentals of engineering science and analysis, and the development of creative thinking in the application of the principles of engineering design. Laboratory work is concerned with experimental procedures in the field of thermo-dynamics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
Emphasis is given to technical reports and to their content, form, and presentation.
Elective courses are offered to permit specialization in certain areas. Increasing emphasis is placed on computer application at all levels. The graduate program offers a multidisciplinary curriculum leading to the Master of Science degree in veterinary science and in tropical animal health and production. This program offers graduate training for those individuals who have primary interest in veterinary medicine or other health-related fields.
