The College of Engineering and the Department of Materials Science and Engineering work on innovative, futuristic ideas from the development of stealth, unmanned vehicles to compostable plastic packaging and new energy-efficient lighting materials.
With small class sizes, you’ll work closely with nationally recognized faculty members on research projects to solve complex problems, many of which lead to exiting internship opportunities.
The department has several labs and groups including:
- Advanced Metallic Materials Laboratory
- Center for Friction Stir Welding
- Computational Materials Modeling Group
- Functional Glasses and Materials Modeling Laboratory
- Laboratory for Electronic Materials and Devices
- Laboratory for Moving Mechanical Assemblies
- Laboratory of Advanced Polymers and Optimized Materials
- Materials Synthesis and Processing Laboratory
- Optoelectronics and Thin Film Materials Laboratory
- Polymer Mechanical and Rheological Laboratory
- UNT Materials Research Facility
