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.
The interdisciplinary, cross-cutting program is 30 credits over 1 year. Through this professional training, students will receive a graduate degree in Materials Engineering. Curriculum involves core courses, engineering skill/experiential course, electives from three concentrations, and an internship/research project. The three concentrations are Materials Structure & Fabrication, Materials Characterization, and Devices & Applications and course can be taken across electives. This degree will prepare students with the knowledge needed to diversify career opportunities in academia, industry, and startups in several fields.
