With
a focus in one of the most rapidly evolving academic disciplines. Research
within the field meets an ever-increasing demand for solid materials from the
designers of jet engines and rocket boosters, microelectronic devices, optical
components, medical prostheses, and many other products. The principles that
govern the processing and structure of materials to produce optimum properties
and performance are embodied in the materials engineering curriculum. Both the
M.S. and M. Eng. degrees require completion of a minimum of 30 credit hours.
For the M.S. and M. Eng. degree students must
complete at least 30 credits. The coursework requirement includes at least
three of the five 4-credit MSE core graduate courses, namely, Advanced
Thermodynamics, Advanced Mechanical Properties, Advanced Structure and Bonding,
Advanced Electronic Properties and Advanced Kinetics. Students who successfully complete this program will be
able to demonstrate: knowledge of fundamentals underlying the relationship
between the structure, property, and performance of materials and ability to
formulate, analyze, and investigate the research problem.
