Overview

Participants take part in rigorous coursework, utilize cutting-edge technology and collaborate with peers and instructors in small, participatory classes.

Features

We encourage students to work toward their own career goals with a multi-disciplinary approach to engineering, developing plans of study from courses on mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, nanoscale science and engineering, materials science and bioengineering.

In addition to our stand PhD in Engineering at University of Denver, we also offer an interdisciplinary PhD program with opportunities for a student to develop a plan of study combining engineering and a complementary discipline (e.g. natural sciences).

Programme Structure

Research

Our faculty and students work to develop smart grids, improve infrastructure and delve into computation, mathematics and operations research. Our goal is to develop efficient, healthy and just urban centers.

Our robotics research focuses on creating the next generation of service robotics, with the goal of improving public welfare and helping address challenges like Alzheimer’s and autism.

Our biomechanics research approaches the world's most pressing health concerns through engineering solutions in areas like joint replacement, social-assistive robotics and cancer detection.
