BSc in Materials Science and Engineering in Atlanta United States | Georgia Institute of Technology

The undergraduate program in materials science and engineering provides a Bachelor of Science degree featuring specializations in Polymer and Fiber Materials, Structural and Functional Materials, and Biomaterials. This adaptable curriculum merges conventional education in ceramics, metallurgy, and polymer and fiber science with contemporary materials such as nano-, bio-, composite, electronic, optical, and magnetic materials. During their first two years, students explore foundational chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering sciences, gaining an introduction to the core principles of both hard and soft materials. Two English courses in the freshman year establish a base for ongoing communication training integrated across the program. In their junior and senior years, students enroll in courses covering materials engineering and science, delving into materials processing, structure, and characteristics. The program concludes with a two-part senior design series where student teams collaborate to design a material, component, or process by applying acquired expertise and skills.
