- kkylin 10y agoI don't think it is all that common in engineering programs here in the US, though not being an engineer myself, I am really speaking out of ignorance here. I don't know if there is something equivalent in the sciences -- there are ScDs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Science https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Science) but as far as I can tell, it is equivalent to a PhD in all but name. Also, based on the description on Wikipedia, it seems like a D.Eng. is basically like a PhD except that the research problem can be more "applied" (not sure what this means -- it can mean very different things in different fields). In particular, a student still has to pass courses and exams, and in the end work on a piece of individual research as their dissertation.
