Course Details

Bsc(Material Science and Engineering)

Course Description

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 and transportation, biomedicine, aviation and 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. The Materials Science and Engineering Department is committed to provide qualified students with a relevant education in materials science and engineering preparing them for a productive and rewarding career. The undergraduate curriculum in materials science and engineering leads to a bachelor of science degree. The curriculum is designed to allow the student exceptional flexibility in designing a program that fits their specific needs, interests and goals. The curriculum in designed to exceed the requirements necessary for accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
