Master of Science in Materials Engineering
Program Overview
Materials Engineering is focused on the ways in which materials are made, used, and recycled; on developing and processing new materials and products; and on the innovative use of traditional materials.
Why Earn a Master's in Materials Engineering?
The M.S. in Materials Engineering program creatively combines opportunities for intellectual growth with hands-on experience in engineering materials and processes. You'll study and develop materials with current technology, as well as look to the materials of the future.
Our graduates apply their knowledge of materials engineering to develop lighter and stronger cars and sports equipment, and their knowledge of electrical properties of materials to build faster and more powerful electronics, and much more. Because materials engineers must be experts in the performance, specification and manufacture of a wide variety of materials, they need knowledge from a range of scientific and engineering disciplines. A master's program provides this comprehensive background.
