• The area of study is diverse and multidisciplinary and incorporates aspects of chemistry, physics, electronics, mechanics, biology, and medicine.
  • The program provides opportunities to investigate various aspects of material science and engineering, which includes the processing, structure, and properties of materials through computational modeling and/or experimental studies.
  • Students will be trained in core discipline areas using the most advanced materials processing, physical property testing, and chemical/structure characterization equipment available.
  • In addition to coursework in the core areas of materials science, students will choose a specialty area of focus to further their expertise. Specialty areas may be in either the chemical, mechanical, or electrical engineering departments. The student's home department will be determined by the student's particular background, interests, and research adviser.
