材料科学与工程哲学博士-结构材料

在包括运输，发电和国防等应用领域，对结构材料性能的要求不断提高。该研究领域集中在用于承重应用的材料中的结构-处理-性能关系。即使允许的重量，成本和能量输入减少，这些材料也必须在极端环境中保持其机械性能。材料科学与工程学科一直在迅速变化，随着探索材料结构和特性动力学的实验工具，高通量多尺度计算方法和材料信息学的最新进展。同时，我们变得越来越跨学科和协作，使社区能够寻求和回答针对我们的全球挑战的更具创新性和复杂性的解决方案。这些发展不仅改变了我们的研究方式，而且改变了我们对待研究生教育的方式。NCSU的MSE
The demands placed on structural material performance are constantly increasing across application areas including transportation, power generation, and defense. This area of research is focused on the structure-processing-property relationships in materials for load-bearing applications. These materials must retain their mechanical properties in extreme environments even as the allowed weight, costs, and energy inputs decrease. Materials science and engineering continues to change rapidly as a discipline, with recent advancements in experimental tools for probing the dynamics of material structure and properties, high-throughput multiscale computational methods and materials informatics. At the same time, we become increasingly interdisciplinary and collaborative, allowing the community to seek and answer more innovative and complex solutions to our global challenges. Not only do these developments change how we do research, but they change how we approach graduate education. MSE at NCSU continuously modernizes our graduate training paradigm, with the goal of providing a supportive environment, leading educators and state-of-the-art resources to create outstanding scientists, engineers and global leaders. While an innovative graduate curriculum and graduate-research mentorship continue to underpin the graduate program, we also emphasize leadership skills, global engagement and entrepreneurialism. Through programs such as the National Science Foundation Research Traineeship on the Science and Engineering of Atomic Structure, we take a leading role in changing the global paradigm for interdisciplinary graduate education.
