Materials Science and Engineering - Rutgers University - New Brunswick

Materials Science and Engineering from Rutgers University - New Brunswick is a Campus Bachelor Materials Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Overview of MSE Materials engineers and scientists study the synthesis, processing, and characterization of substances within these general classes of materials: Polymers, Metals, Semiconductors, Ceramics, Glass, and Composites. An understanding the molecular structure and well-designed processing are the keys to engineering materials with outstanding properties. Novel materials are tailored to meet the needs of targeted applications and become the foundation for all engineering disciplines. Such materials enable many new technologies and are found in various forms in electronics, optics, architecture & transportation, biomedicine, aviation & aerospace, pharmaceuticals, energy generation, environmental engineering , and numerous industrial systems. Our graduates are in high demand by industry and are employed at excellent salaries by prominent companies. Those going on to graduate school are well prepared and are highly recruited by prestigious graduate schools worldwide. What Will I Study? Students study the chemical and physical nature of materials at the macro, micro, and nano scales. Early on you will take courses in crystal chemistry and physics of materials , followed by more focused study of phase equilibria and the measurement of thermal, electrical, and optical properties. The later stages of the curriculum emphasizes the intricate but defining relationships between structure, properties, and processing of engineering materials, with emphasis on applications and materials design. In the senior year, undergraduates design their capstone course in preparation for graduate studies or an industrial career in the materials industry in a diverse range of categories that include research, development, marketing, process engineering , technical sales. How Can I Specialize in a Certain Area? Most importantly, the MSE program encourages a student to select an area of focus in one of the following areas: Biomaterials, Nanomaterials, Metals, Polymers, Fiber Optics, Manufacturing, Packaging Materials , or in an area designed specifically to meet an individual student?s educational and career goals. This specialization is accomplished via the selection of technical electives in the targeted area. Speak to your faculty advisor (see below) or stop by the Department Office!
