Students in the undergraduate program receive a strong engineering education that has a solid emphasis on the fundamental properties and structure of materials, combined with the application and design of advanced materials for a wide range of engineering problems. In their junior and senior years, students specialize in one of six aspects of materials science and engineering:
- Materials Science
- Soft Materials and Biomaterials
- Electrical, Optical, and Functional Materials
- Nanotechnology
- Materials for Energy
