MS in Materials Engineering

Novel materials have the power to completely transform the health, climate, tech, and energy sectors. Materials engineers learn how to create, test, and implement cutting-edge materials to solve today's and tomorrow’s problems. A fundamental understanding of materials science, materials engineering, and manufacturing are critical for students with a BS degree in biomedical engineering, civil engineering, materials science, mechanical engineering, or other backgrounds to further their materials knowledge. Through this professional training, students will be equipped with the knowledge needed to diversify career opportunities in academia, industry, and startups.

The mission of the MS in Materials Engineering Program is as follows:

• Provide high-quality graduate education in basic and translational materials engineering that will prepare graduates for professional careers and a lifetime of learning.
• Conduct high-quality research that will advance the current body of knowledge and engage in new discoveries, and
• Serve the engineering profession and society through active involvement in professional organizations and contribution of professional expertise.

The program's mission will be accomplished by providing integrated and multidisciplinary scientific and technical education. Graduate students will be involved in translating scientific discoveries to modern technologies and novel products that benefit the materials industry. The graduates will be trained in computational and experimental materials design, fabrication, characterization, testing, and manufacturing advances, among other topics.
