On average, newly admitted domestic graduate students received a graduate funding package of $25,500 and $37,700 for international students.
Daphene Solis
PhD candidate, Mechanical Engineering Department
“I always have been passionate about mechanics, knowing how things work and are produced has kept my attention since I was a kid. When I thought about a future career, becoming an engineer felt natural – it was me following my passion.
In a world so moved by technologies and systems, engineering is an agent of improvement that allows us to come up with creative solutions to challenges.
My PhD research is focused on tissue engineering in the artificial production of biological substitutes that restore, maintain or improve tissue function. This area has a huge impact on society since its results can directly impact people’s lives, including reducing transplant waiting lists and improving people’s quality of life.”
