• Materials science and engineering is a broad discipline, ranging from the extracting of valuable minerals and metals from ores, to the production of steel, to the development and fabrication of pure metals, alloys, ceramics, electronic materials, and biomaterials.
  • The master's degree in materials science and engineering combines upper-level coursework with the opportunity to conduct research on a topic within materials science and write a thesis.
    • Thesis option (Plan A)
    • Coursework-only, non-thesis option (Plan B)
  • The aim of the department is to educate students at a nationally competitive level in the fundamentals of the field and to provide an opportunity to conduct small scale, independent research projects.
  • The department offers two degrees for the program. These are:
    • MSc in materials science and engineering
    • PhD in materials science and engineering
  • Students will have an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
