The major enables students to develop an understanding of materials systems and their role in engineering. Emphasis is placed on the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering principles to materials science and engineering; to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; and to design a program name system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.
