MatSE Undergraduate Studies - Course Descriptions

Undergraduate Studies › Course Descriptions

Students in materials science and engineering begin with a background in basic chemistry, mathematics, and physics -- the foundation for broad-based materials properties, processing, and applications courses. Commencing with the junior year, students take courses in Materials Science and Engineering, and specialized courses in one of four options. For a full description of the major's requirements see the Baccalaureate Degree Program Bulletin.
