MSE Minor (15 credits)
Calling all Bioengineering, Chemistry, Physics and Mechanical Engineering majors. Minor in Materials Science and Engineering without taking more courses.
Thoughtfully choosing your courses for your major can result in earning a Materials Science and Engineering minor—great for your resume and career. The Materials Science and Engineering Minor requires 15 credits minimum of courses you are already taking toward your major.
------
Materials are the basis for all engineering and also are the basis for much of the research in various areas of science. The Minor in Materials Science and Engineering is designed to give students in other areas of engineering and science both a broad view of all materials as well as several courses in a particular area of materials — knowledge that will be of value whether the student pursues a career in industry, government or academia.
The courses listed below have been selected to give an undergraduate student both a strong background in all types of materials as well as more detailed knowledge of a particular area of materials (e.g., biomaterials, ceramics, electronic materials, metals, or polymers) that is compatible with their major program of study.
“As today’s high tech applications demand ever-increasing materials performance, engineers and scientists must be equipped to evaluate, select, and if necessary, participate in the development of advanced materials to suit their applications. With that in mind, a minor in Materials Science is an attractive and differentiated skill set for graduates.”
