Mechanical Engineering: research doctorate records.

Research this field and level

Official classification: Mechanical Engineering.

A program that prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of physical systems used in manufacturing and end-product systems used for specific uses, including machine tools, jigs and other manufacturing equipment; stationary power units and appliances; engines; self-propelled vehicles; housings and containers; hydraulic and electric systems for controlling movement; and the integration of computers and remote control with operating systems.

Check mathematics and science prerequisites, laboratory or design requirements and the programme campus. Mechanical engineering technology can be a different classification and qualification.

This selection is the source research/scholarship doctorate category, award level 17. The file does not provide the exact degree title, so it does not identify every award as a PhD or confirm a supervisor, research opening or funding offer. Verify the actual qualification and current research application route.
