Design. Revolutionize.

Materials scientists and engineers design, develop and produce traditional and advanced materials for diverse applications in many industries. The broad career responsibilities require competence in science, engineering, math, and the social sciences. The curriculum develops skills in problem-solving, engineering analysis and design, as well as communication. The Department builds in students a broad foundation in the science & engineering of materials, preparing students for careers in industry and graduate school.
