The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at MIT seeks undergraduates who embrace intricate challenges, chart their own educational course, and boldly explore new directions to achieve their aspirations. Professors equip students with deep knowledge about material behaviors, formations, and transformations while inspiring them to develop as independent creators. Throughout each term, DMSE scholars engage in hands-on laboratory work, crafting original experiments, interpreting findings, and assessing their innovations' global implications.
The first-year application is intended for students who have concluded their secondary education and wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree as a full-time university student.
