Doctor of Philosophy in Manufacturing Management (PhD)
|
Traditional standards emphasize in-depth knowledge of manufacturing & engineering functions and expertise in quantitative (model building methods of inquiry). Emerging standards of excellence require a broader and more interdisciplinary base of knowledge pertaining to interrelationships between manufacturing/engineering function and other parts of enterprise (e.g., research & development, human resource management, finance etc.) and expertise in field (empirical research methods). The Ph.D. Program is designed for individuals who seek doctoral training that provides a careful balance between these traditional and emerging standards of excellence in manufacturing education. The graduates of the program are expected to pursue careers in university teaching, industry, consulting or research. The purpose of the Ph.D. Program is to educate scholars to meet traditional & emerging standards of excellence in and contribute to the manufacturing management field through research, teaching, and seminal publications in academic and professional journals and monographs.
