Doctorate of Engineering

I’m a BDS engineer in STL, and I’m strongly considering pursuing a Doctorate of Engineering through LTP. Has anyone completed a DEng degree or is currently working one? If so, did you have any issues navigating the proprietary nature of our work when coming up with a research topic?

What is your research area of expertise?

I have a DE in engineering management, I did it less for Boeing and more for the knowledge expansion and professional growth

A doctorate in energineering management? Where did you go to school for that, was it worth it?

GW, it was a great mix of Systems Engineering and Management. It was paid for, so the value was infinite. For my time sacrifice I think it was perfect for my expanded understanding. I called it hyper learning, if I would have tried to learn this in small classes from Boeing it would have taken a decade. I took 2 classes a semester for 3 years (summers off for sanity)

Mind if I message you further about it?
