Materials Science and Engineering - Columbia University in the City of New York

Materials Science and Engineering from Columbia University in the City of New York is a Campus Bachelor Materials Science degree that prepares you for a Science career. The program provides the basis for developing, improving, and understanding materials and processes for electronic, structural, and other applications. It draws from physics, chemistry, and other disciplines to provide a coherent background for immediate application in engineering or for subsequent advanced study. The emphasis is on fundamentals relating atomic- to microscopic-scale phenomena to materials properties and processing, including design and control of industrially important materials processes. Core courses and electives combine rigor with flexibility and provide opportunities for focusing on such areas as electronic materials, polymers, ceramics, biomaterials, structural materials , and metals and mineral processing. There are also opportunities for combining materials science and engineering with interests in areas such as medicine, business, law, or government. The unifying theme of understanding and interrelating materials synthesis, processing, structure, and properties forms the basis of our MSAE program and is evident in the undergraduate curriculum and in faculty research activities. These activities include work on polycrystalline silicon for flat panel displays; high-temperature superconductors for power transmission and sensors; semiconductors for laser and solar cell applications; magnetic heterostructures for information storage and novel computation architectures; electronic ceramics for batteries, gas sensors, and fuel cells; electrodeposition and corrosion of metals; and the analysis and design of high-temperature reactors. Through involvement with our research groups, students gain valuable hands-on experience and are often engaged in joint projects with industrial and government laboratories.
