Exploration Systems Design (Instrumentation), PhD

Arizona State University - Kaplan International

The Doctor of Philosophy program in exploration systems design with a concentration in instrumentation offers an advanced systems approach for developing scientific exploration technologies in a variety of demanding environments on Earth and in space. This transdisciplinary degree program targets technological development for exploration science, providing a distinct platform to train systems engineers. This collaborative program between the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering enables students to specialize in topics related to planetary exploration, astronomical instrumentation, robotics, sensors and sensor networks. The curriculum integrates the School of Earth and Space Exploration's science, instrumentation and systems engineering core courses with related coursework from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. The instrumentation concentration prepares students in the development of state-of-the-art sensors and systems for remote and in situ sensing related to planetary science, Earth science and astronomy.
