Minor in Materials Science and Engineering
The understanding and selection of materials is a common requirement in many science and engineering disciplines. To help serve this need, the Department of Materials Science & Engineering is offering science and engineering undergraduate students whose major is outside of Materials Science & Engineering a Minor in Materials Science and Engineering.
To complete the minor, the student is required to take a minimum of five courses, entailing a minimum of 17 credits. The five courses required should be distributed as follows:
- MATSCIE 220 “Introduction to Materials and Manufacturing” or MATSCIE 250 “Principles of Engineering Materials” (4 credits)
- MATSCIE 350 “Structures of Materials” (4 credits) (F)
- Two MSE courses from the following “Selectives” list (3 credits each, and the prerequisites for each include MATSCIE 220/250 and in many cases, MATSCIE 350):
- MATSCIE 400 “Electronic, Magnetic and Optical Materials for Modern Device Technology” (Prerequisite: MATSCIE 242) (F)
- MATSCIE 410 “Design and Applications of Biomaterials” (F)
- MATSCIE 412 “Polymeric Materials” (Prerequisite: CHEM 210) (F)
- MATSCIE 440 “Ceramic Materials” (W)
- MATSCIE 454 “Computational Approaches in MSE” (Prerequisite: MATSCIE 330, 335, and 365) (F)
- MATSCIE 465 “Structural and Chemical Characterization of Materials” (Prerequisites: MATSCIE 242 and MATSCIE 360) (W)
- MATSCIE 470 “Physical Metallurgy” (F)
- MATSCIE 514 “Composite Materials” (W)
- One more MATSCIE course, other than lab, research or special studies (3 or 4 credits)
F – Course offered Fall Term
W – Course offered Winter Term
