Materials Science and Engineering BS MSE

Materials science and engineering (MSE) is concerned with the production, structure, characterization, properties and utilization of metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, electronic, optical, nano- and bio-compatible materials. Materials scientists and engineers play a key role in our increasingly complex technological society by extending the limited supply of materials, improving existing materials, and developing and designing new and superior materials and processes with an awareness of their cost, reliability, safety, and societal/environmental implications.Students majoring in materials science and engineering (MSE) receive a thorough grounding in the basic sciences and engineering of all materials.
