材料科学与工程理学学士-材料科学

材料科学与工程（MSE）本科课程提供了强大的工程学教育，重点在于材料的基本特性和结构，并结合了针对各种工程问题的高级材料的应用和设计。通过项目，实习，研究和合作经验，学生将有机会与教职员工一起解决复杂的问题。材料科学与工程结合了工程，物理和化学，并用它们来解决纳米技术，生物技术，信息技术，能源和制造领域的现实问题。该课程的毕业生可以选择各种职业，从传统材料行业的生产和质量控制，到用于能量收集和存储的材料以及可持续性的创造。
Materials Science and Engineering is a multidisciplinary field focused on developing materials, devices and systems that provide the foundation for advancing technology. Requirements for the MSE major include thorough preparation in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and engineering science as well as the required university general education requirements. All students will be required to select an area of specialization, an upper-class science elective, and two technical electives. A minimum of 122 credits is required for a bachelor's degree. Materials Science and Engineering students are required to select a specialization area to increase their depth of knowledge in one aspect of MSE. In this topical area, they will take five upper level (junior/senior) classes, of which at least four must be ENMA classes. The identified specializations are Materials Science, Soft Materials and Biomaterials, Materials for Applications, and Materials for Energy. With their advisor's approval, students may design a specialization area to meet individual career and academic goals. The five classes may be ENMA electives or other upper level engineering classes. The choice and sequence of specialization electives is discussed with, and approved by, the student's academic advisor. The specialization electives must make sense as a package in terms of the individual student's academic and career goals. The choice of specialization area allows the student significant flexibility in choosing her or his envisioned career path. Representative elective classes, which may be taken as specialization electives, include: Materials Science, Soft Materials and Biomaterials, Materials for Applications, Materials for Energy
