Department of Materials Science and Engineering

Welcome!

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering addresses the education and technological challenges of creating, applying and characterizing new materials for manufacturing products for the 21st Century. We are committed to training students at the graduate level in all aspects of modern materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, electronic and optical materials, and materials characterization. Students have opportunities for hands-on research with modern equipment and facilities. The Department has strong collaborative programs with other Metroplex universities and with industry throughout the world. Students have an opportunity to develop highly marketable skills and have readily obtained jobs with high-technology companies in electronics, chemical, electric power and environmental industries, as well as academia.
