Materials Scientists and Engineers play crucial roles across all technological domains, from creating materials for integrated circuits and biological uses to developing substances for energy production (including both traditional and renewable sources) and infrastructure projects like bridges, roads, and structures.
After completing their studies, graduates can pursue various career trajectories. Some continue their education at top-tier graduate institutions, while others immediately enter professional roles as engineers in Silicon Valley (such as at Agilent and Applied Materials), the biotech industry (like Genentech), or the aerospace sector (including companies like Boeing).
The Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) undergraduate program aims to equip students with these essential competencies:
Mastery of core scientific and engineering concepts for materials design, development, and practical implementation
Comprehension of how nano/microstructures, analysis techniques, material properties, and manufacturing processes interrelate in materials engineering
Development of hands-on laboratory and computational abilities suitable for professional work or advanced materials research
Awareness of research importance, lifelong learning value, and environmental/social considerations in materials science
