Dottorato di Ricerca in Gestione dell'Ingegneria (Ph.D.)

Program Overview

The doctor of philosophy in the field of engineering management is designed for the technical manager who seeks to pursue advanced education and research methods to keep an organization operating efficiently and working ahead of its competitors. The program provides graduate education in the most current management techniques for technological and scientific organizations.

The program is divided into two stages. The first comprises a study of related fields of learning that supports the general area of research focus and culminates in the qualifying examination. The second, composed of original research and the presentation of findings in a written dissertation, culminates in the final examination. Upon admission to the first stage of the program, the student meets with their assigned advisor to structure the program of study.

Programs of study include a focus area: crisis, emergency, and risk management; economics, finance, and cost engineering; engineering and technology management; environmental and energy management; and knowledge and information management.
