I may be completely off base here because I am not in the engineering field. My son, however, is a computer engineering major at the University of Michigan. Anyways, in many of the chemistry, biological, and physics areas if one is interested specializing in another area outside of what they received their Ph.D. degree they would do a post-doctoral appointment (2-3 years). That’s what I did (Ph.D. Medicinal Chemistry and postdoc Molecular Biology). I don’t know if the engineering field works the same way. I have never heard of dual Ph.Ds in similar fields.

Cosmicfish is right on point with all his/her comments.




No one cares about the number of doctorates, they will care about your specific coursework, original research and publications… neither of which will be limited by a single doctorate.
