材料科学与工程哲学博士

材料科学与工程领域正在扩展到一个前所未有的智力挑战和机遇时期。纳米结构材料，微机电系统（MEMS）和设备，碳纳米管（CNT），在低压和低温下制备的金刚石涂层，锂离子电池材料以及高温超导性只是其中一些进步的例子在这个领域里。材料科学与工程对美国工业的生存以及我们的经济和安全实力至关重要。这些材料的加工也同样具有挑战性。现在可以设计出与各种应用的总体性能不同的表面性能，并可以从原子尺度向上调整材料，以实现所需的器件功能特性。随着世界变得越来越平坦，美国必须在仍然存在工业增长机会的领域进行投资。大多数先进经济体
OSU's Master of Science in materials Science and Engineering program is located at OSU-Tulsa and places the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology in a unique position to conduct world-class education, research and Technology development and transfer in advance materials of strategic importance to our nation. The field of Materials Science and Engineering is expanding into a period of unprecedented intellectual challenges and opportunities, and is crucial to the survival of US industry and the strength of our economy and security. This program will train our next generations to design materials for specialized uses, making materials reliable and useful to mankind.<br><br>Curriculum<br>Four research focus areas have been identified by industry leaders in and around Tulsa, Okla., with Materials Science and Engineering as the overall umbrella.
