Materials Science and Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering prepares students to develop innovative, design-enabling engineering materials technologies and manufacturing processes that have a tremendous impact on a broad range of industries that include: microelectronics, automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and more. Students acquire a fundamental understanding of the physics and chemistry responsible for the characteristic behavior of a wide variety of engineering materials that provide specific functional and/or structural design attributes. The curriculum provides coverage of topics on the structure, processing, properties, and performance of metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites, bio-materials, semiconductor materials, and more. Students become part of a program with a track record of excellence in research and academics: industry-relevant programs; a world-class faculty; an entrepreneurial environment; individualized attention; a team approach to problem-solving; a flexible, multidisciplinary curriculum; and modern facilities.

Learning Outcomes

• Design and engineer materials with desired properties through processing, synthesis, and manipulation techniques.
• Proficiency in using computational tools and software to model and simulate the behavior of materials and analyze their performance.
• Develop an awareness of the environmental impact of materials and engineering processes.
