Ph.D. in Engineering
and Industrial Applied Mathematics, offered jointly by the College
of Engineering at California State University, Long Beach and
The Claremont Graduate University, allows students to pursue
doctoral programs in most areas of engineering and applied mathematics.
The College of Engineering at California State University, Long
Beach (CSULB) has the primary responsibility for the engineering
portion of the program, and the Department of Mathematics at
The Claremont Graduate University (CGU) has the primary responsibility
for the applied mathematics portion. The program of study for
each Ph.D. candidate is carefully integrated to ensure the interdisciplinary
nature of each student's research.
This program was approved
by the CSULB Senate in 1987 and granted its first doctoral degree
in 1995. The Joint Doctoral Program was created with two educational
goals that continue to be pertinent today:
Develop a doctoral
program that seeks to judiciously combine the applied mathematics
field with one or more branches of engineering at both the
academic and research level.
Draw upon the
synergistic expertise of the research faculty at both institutions
to offer an interdisciplinary degree that integrates advanced
techniques of mathematical analysis with advanced engineering
coursework and research.
