The faculty of the School of Engineering offer graduate programs leading to the M.S., the Master of Science in Engineering, and the Ph.D. degrees in Engineering Science. An area of study is available in Materials Science and Engineering. Contact the Department of Chemical, Bio, and Materials Engineering.
Graduate Record Examination. A student whose undergraduate degree program is not ABET accredited must submit scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test as part of the admission process. Certain disciplines also require GRE scores for application to the M.S., M.S.E., and Ph.D. programs in Engineering Science.
MASTER OF SCIENCE
See “Master’s Degrees” for information on the M.S. degree.
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING
See “Master of Science in Engineering” for information on the M.S.E. degree.
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
See “Doctor of Philosophy” for information on the Ph.D. degree.
RESEARCH ACTIVITY
Faculty in the School of Engineering offer programs of a special and interdisciplinary nature.
Faculty members who advise students in this area of study are located within the Department of Chemical, Bio, and Materials Engineering. Courses offered carry the MSE prefix following the list of courses offered in Materials Science and Engineering.
Requirements for the M.S. degree are described in “Master’s Degrees,” for the M.S.E. degree in “Master of Science in Engineering,” and for the Ph.D. degree in “Doctor of Philosophy.”
Each student admitted as a regular degree candidate is required to complete an approved program of study. Students who have an undergraduate degree in an area other than materials science, or a similarly named program, may qualify for admission to a transition program and may be required to take one or more undergraduate courses in preparation for enrollment in graduate courses in Materials Science and Engineering. The program of study of transition students is determined by the student’s supervisory committee after review of the student’s academic record.
Research activities in Materials Science and Engineering include programs in semiconductor processing and characterization, polymeric and ceramic composites, cuprates for high critical temperature superconductor applications, ferritic thin films for capacitor and memory applications, high temperature materials for space applications, mechanical behavior of high strength Al-Li alloys, environmentally influenced mechanical effects, and microbiologically influenced corrosion reactions.
