The PhD program in materials science and engineering prepares students for professional careers in materials science and engineering and related fields in industry, government and educational institutions. This field draws upon a fundamental base of knowledge, with underpinnings in physics, chemistry and engineering. The program extends that knowledge to address a broad range of materials-driven challenges, such as energy efficiency, sustainability, functional nanostructures, electronic materials, biomaterials and polymers. Interdisciplinary in nature, the curriculum offers required courses in four core subjects: advanced thermodynamics kinetics and phase transformations physics of materials structure and properties of materials
