About
The Department of Materials
Science and Engineering (MSE) is a distinguished department with a long
history of leadership in education and focused research. The Department
of Metallurgical Engineering was founded in 1906 and became the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering in 1992. There are
currently 24 active faculty, including some with joint appointments in
Biomedical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and
Engineering and Public Policy. In addition the department has more than
250 Bachelors, Masters, and doctoral students. The department also
houses a range of facilities for the synthesis and characterization of
materials.
MSE faculty conduct a wide range of experimental and theoretical research. The four areas of concentration are: Electronic Materials, Magnetic Materials, Microstructural Science, and Iron and Steelmaking Research.
Department faculty and students are also active participants in the following centers: Center for Iron and Steelmaking Research (CISR), Data Storage Systems Center (DSSC) and Institute for Complex Engineered Systems (ICES).
Graduate study in MSE systematically develops the fundamental scientific and engineering principles that govern the behavior and application of materials. The department offers three graduate degrees:
Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering
Master of Science in Materials Science
Doctor of Philosophy
