The Ph.D. program in Polymer and Fiber Engineering offers a full range of study and research in multi-disciplinary areas which include natural and synthetic polymers, nanomaterials, polymer processing, fibrous materials, and fibrous composites.
Building upon a core of required courses enables the student to design a program to his or her individual interests. Core courses focus on polymer/fiber structure and properties, mechanics of fibrous materials, coloration, advances in fibrous composites, and research and thesis.
Suggested minor or supporting course areas include chemical engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, and chemistry.
