1. BACKGROUND Material issues are quickly becoming the most vital part in engineering design and analysis. New materials are being sought for microelectronic packages, biomedical applications, superconducting films, spintronics, tool bit materials, cutting tools, fuel-efficient engines, etc. Furthermore, today's materials engineers, scientists and designers need to understand the unique world delimited by nanomaterials technology to successfully apply it to their own product research and development. Different principles of chemistry, physics and biology apply at the nanoscale level. Property interactions such as thermodynamics, kinetics, magnetic, adhesion, deformation, electronic and optical characteristics suffer substantial change at the nanometer scale. Many engineers and scientists graduates do not have a sufficient materials background to answer the needs of industry. Many industries are facing the task of designing with new materials, selecting alternate materials or processing new materials. In addition, industry professionals' knowledge of the science and its evolving applications must remain up-to-date, which means they need access to career-long learning opportunities. Due to these needs and in compass with the targets sets by the engineering faculty approved Graduate Program in Materials Science and Engineering; the Department of General Engineering at University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (UPRM) is seeking to offer a Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering at the undergraduate level. This certificate is designed to provide engineers with a concentrated focus on the topic of advanced materials synthesis, characterization and processing. It consists of engineering undergraduate and some graduate courses aimed at engineers and scientist who want to learn advanced characterization techniques, functional materials synthesis and processing techniques, materials transformations, nanostructured materials, etc. With graduate committee approval, graduate students in other specialties may include some courses given in the MSE certificate as part of their study plan. Undergraduate students can enhance their knowledge in this area without seeking a graduate degree, and simultaneously build a strong foundation for a master's degree at a future date. In summary, the goal of this program is to establish a set of integrated materials- related courses specifically designed for engineers who do not have a formal education in materials in order to increase their marketable skills and to develop a cross-disciplinary approach to problem solving. The program emphasizes the multidisciplinary nature of the study of materials and the engineering application of their properties

2. GOALS & OBJECTIVES The objectives of the Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering are the following:

A) provide students with a structured program for the study of materials-related topics and give them the theoretical foundation and practical knowledge needed to function in the rapidly developing field of modern materials.

B) induce and prepare students towards graduate degree programs with emphasis in Materials Science and Engineering.

C) develop student’s knowledge and skills that will help them to compete for job positions in materials-related industries.

D) contribute to the Puerto Rican society by setting up the basis for the implementation of emerging technologies and asserting students ties with the University.

3. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Prior to starting work on a certificate, students must have completed at least two years equivalent of college credits in mathematics, chemistry, physics and/or engineering and they must have approved not less than 60 credits towards their engineering degrees. To participate in the certificate program the student must fill out the application form and obtain the approval of the Program Coordinator. All applications forms must be submitted before deadlines of admission (suggested as the same deadlines for Graduate Admission). Students working toward the certificate must have been admitted to the University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez as undergraduate student or as a graduate student. All students must meet the minimum GPA admission requirement of 3.0 or higher to enroll in 5000 or higher level courses for the certificate.

4. STUDY PROGRAM To be awarded the program certificate, the student must complete the following:

(a) all the graduation requirements of his/her discipline with a GPA of 3.0 or higher. (b) twelve credits of certificate core courses, (c) six credits of elective courses as recommended by the certificate program. (d) achieve a GPA of 3.0 or higher in the certificate program courses. (e) the student must earn at least a C or better in each of the certificate courses.

Usually of the 18 credits required for the certificate program, a maximum of 6 credits might be included in the student graduation requirements for his/her discipline. These courses should conform to the recommended electives courses set by the certificate program. Each engineering department has its own regulations on program curricula and elective courses. The Materials Science and Engineering certificate requires a minimum of 9 core credit hours of theoretical and applied materials courses. The Materials Science and Engineering Certificate is designed to provide students with an opportunity to gain a focused introduction into a dynamic and explosively growing technological field. The certificate has been designed to be as flexible as possible thus allowing students from different disciplines to take advantage of the program. Enrollment is through the Department of General Engineering.

5. COURSES To accomplish the stated goal, a set of key courses has been developed which are to be taught by a carefully selected team of highly qualified instructors representing many years of experience in materials research and industry. The program conforms to rigorous academic standards, as set by ABET, while providing knowledge of immediate applicability. The program has been designed to be completed within the span of two and a half academic years (five semesters). The courses in the Materials Science and Engineering certificate program span a comprehensive spectrum of materials technology. The program includes:

• In-depth study of alloy microstructures and their control through processing; • Examination of the principles and characteristics of the most commonly used processing

and fabrication methods; • Thorough description of methods and techniques used in the analysis and assessment of

mechanical performance under various conditions; and • Detailed study of engineering issues involved in the production, characterization and

performance of materials. On completion of the program, students will have the necessary know-how to actively and intelligently contribute to decision making processes involving the production and use of a wide variety of materials for different industry applications and integrating technical skills with business knowledge. Courses for the certificate program will be taught by the organizing and affiliated faculty.
