Master of Science in Materials Science Engineering
(MSMSE)
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering
The Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering provides advanced coursework and research that
blends basic materials science with fundamental engineering principles and practice. Closely tied to industry
needs and applications, the program supports research in nanomaterials, semiconductor materials, biomaterials,
composites, metallurgy, welding, micro-joining, manufacturing, computational modeling, and materials synthesis,
post-treatment, and characterization. The flexibility of the program structure encourages students to explore
research in conventional disciplines as well as those in inter- or multi-disciplines. The program features research
thrusts spanning a wide range of cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary areas.
