Novel materials with engineered functionalities are pivotal to advancing enabling technologies for increasingly diverse human-technology interfaces spanning healthcare, electronics and consumer goods, national security, space missions, digital devices, and sustainable energy. Materials engineers are adept at combining fundamental sciences with engineering applications to design, develop, and deploy cutting-edge materials that solve today’s and tomorrow’s challenges through groundbreaking innovations.
The interdisciplinary, cross-cutting MS degree is a fast-track, one-year program requiring 30 credits of coursework, including hands-on research experiences and industrial projects. Through this professional training, students earn a graduate degree in Materials Engineering. The curriculum includes core courses, engineering skills and experiential learning, electives from three concentrations, and an internship or research project. The three elective concentrations are Materials Structure and Fabrication, Materials Characterization, and Devices and Applications. The master’s project may involve either an industrial internship or a research project focused on cutting-edge problems in materials science and engineering.
