Discovering Materials Science

What is Materials Science and Engineering?  

Everything is made of something!  Materials scientists and engineers make the materials that make all of technology possible. 

Materials Science and Engineering (MS&E) is a broad, research-focused, multidisciplinary curriculum that builds on fundamentals of physics, chemistry, and biology.  Materials Scientists and Engineers manipulate mechanical, electrical, optical, magnetic, and chemical properties to create and improve the materials from which all engineered objects are made.  MS&E graduates are in demand in every sector and industry.
