The M.Eng. (Materials Science and Engineering) degree program is designed for students who intend to pursue industry careers, although former graduates have successfully pursued other career tracks, such as government, non-profit, and academia.
Both recent graduates and established professionals are encouraged to apply.
This program is for students from a wide range of backgrounds, including those who have an undergraduate degree in:
- Materials Science/Engineering
- these students further develop their expertise in materials, often developing an in-depth knowledge of one area in particular
- Other Physical Science or Engineering Fields
- these students supplement their existing education with a detailed knowledge of materials, often finding a new area of specialization
This 30-credit program is typically completed in two full-time semesters. The curriculum includes graduate-level course work, a capstone project, and professional development training. Program flexibility is an essential feature, wherein students take an active role in designing their own personal curriculum and matching themselves to an industry or faculty sponsored project.
