What is Materials Science and Engineering?

Materials Science is the study of EVERYTHING. We study and build the materials that create our world.

Everything is made of something. In Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), we study that something. From aerospace components to biomaterials and from nanoscale technology to 3-D printing, Materials Scientists and Engineers study the structure and properties of all kinds of materials and how we can process those materials to improve their affordability, durability and performance. 

Need a material that is faster? Lighter? Stronger? Ask a materials scientist.

Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is a field that focuses on the discovery, development, and design of new materials. It involves studying the properties and structures of materials at various scales, from atomic to macroscopic levels, and understanding how these properties can be manipulated and optimized for specific applications.
