Materials Science and Engineering is a multidisciplinary field of study. Learners from various engineering and scientific backgrounds gain comprehensive knowledge in material physics and chemistry, thermodynamics, material structures, and contemporary manufacturing technologies. Faculty research primarily focuses on creating innovative materials for modern electronics, energy solutions, biomedical applications, and advanced technology sectors. These materials can exist as bulk substances or thin films, encompassing ceramics, semiconductors, metals, polymers, and biomaterials. The department's professors play significant roles in key university initiatives including the Maryland Materials Research Science and Engineering Center, the Maryland NanoCenter, and the University of Maryland Energy Research Center.
Those applicants who have earned or will earn a bachelor's degree at a regionally accredited college or university in the United States (or the equivalent of a baccalaureate degree from a nationally recognized institution in another country) are eligible to be considered for admission to the Graduate School at the University of Maryland
