\n Materials Engineering
BSE<\/div>\n <\/h1>\n<\/header>\n \n\n\n\n\n

When you enroll in the Materials Engineering major at 51ÁÔÆæ, you\u2019ll join a relatively new academic field that is changing the world in so many ways. Modern materials scientists develop and test composite and simple materials that, for example, extract pollutants from water, hold the ability to self-heal, last longer, or are manufactured in a way that reduces the amount of by-products sent to landfills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our tight-knit classrooms, labs and through internships and co-ops, you\u2019ll blend knowledge in chemistry, physics and engineering as you investigate the relationship between the structure of materials at the atomic or molecular level and their macroscopic properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll graduate ready to apply your knowledge to in fields such as aerospace, architecture, biomedicine, computers and electronics, construction, metal manufacturing, transportation and recreation.<\/p>\n\n\n
