The College of Engineering has a strong commitment to
graduate education through teaching and research. Programs leading
to both the master’s and PhD degrees are offered through the
departments of Chemical, Civil and Environmental, Electrical and
Computer, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical
Engineering. There is also a graduate program in Biomechanics and
Movement Science. Many faculty are engaged in research in the
bioengineering field, and there are numerous opportunities for
graduate student participation.
Engineering graduate students at the University have the
opportunity to participate in the College’s eight research centers: the
Center for Applied Coastal Research, the Center for Biomedical
Engineering Research, the Center for Catalytic Science and
Technology, the Center for Composite Materials, the Center for
Innovative Bridge Engineering, the Center for Molecular and
Engineering Thermodynamics, the Center for the Study of Metals in
the Environment, and the Delaware Center for Transportation.
Detailed information on specific research programs may be obtained
from the appropriate center office or the relevant engineering
department, or see:

The College also meets the needs of practicing engineers who
wish to further their education. The Engineering Outreach Program is
designed to facilitate professionally convenient graduate education by
working with the academic departments to schedule classes in the late
day, evening, or in distance format. Part-time non-degree graduate
students can take courses through Engineering Outreach, and these
courses may be applied to a traditional or non-thesis graduate
engineering degree upon regular admission to the graduate program.
Detailed information about the Engineering Outreach Program may
be obtained by calling (302) 831-2401. For more information, please
