Materials Science and Engineering - Northwestern University

Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University is a Campus Bachelor Materials Science degree that prepares you for a Science career. Mission The mission of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is to provide a well-rounded education in materials science and engineering to meet the needs of industry, academia and government; to give definition to the expanding discipline; to conduct frontier research; and to provide leadership in the cross-disciplinary materials community. The role of our undergraduate program is defined by the objectives and outcomes listed below. Objectives The objectives of our undergraduate program are stated as attributes that program graduates are expected to possess. These attributes can be divided into two categories of educational objectives, based on the needs of our student and employer constituencies: analysis/knowledge and synthesis/evaluation. Analysis/Knowledge needs: These include the ability to quantitatively model key mechanisms in materials science (for example, nucleation/ growth rates, coarsening, etc.) using a knowledge of the mathematical dependencies of key variables and driving forces and familiarity with modern tools (experimental and computational) that enable the application of scientific methods to problem solving. Synthesis/ Evaluation needs: These include the ability to apply a systems perspective to address problems of realistic complexity and the application of design skills to integrate theory and experiment for design of materials and processes in a team setting.
