A Doctor of Philosophy with a Major in Engineering Science and Mechanics can serve as the launching point for a wide variety of academic and career destinations.

Graduate students choose uniquely challenging paths toward their intended degrees.

Most will work within one of six affinity groups, each of which conducts a variety of interdisciplinary research initiatives within the School, across campus, and with other universities around the world. This interdisciplinary approach to research attracts a broad array of corporate, governmental and research foundation support.

Students can also gain valuable work experience through graduate assistantships, the Georgia Tech Cooperative Education Program, and the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
