The materials science and engineering PhD program equips students for careers in industry, government, and academia within this field and related disciplines.
Building upon foundational principles from physics, chemistry, and engineering, the program applies this knowledge to solve diverse materials-related challenges. These include energy conservation, sustainable development, nanoscale functional materials, electronic components, biological materials, and polymer science.
With its interdisciplinary approach, the program mandates coursework in four fundamental areas:
advanced thermodynamics
kinetics and phase transformations
materials physics
material structures and characteristics
