Overview

About the program

The foundations of Materials Science and Engineering are the basic sciences of physics, chemistry, and mathematics. An engineer working with the great variety of materials responses at the electrical, optical, magnetic, mechanical, and chemical levels must have a solid scientific foundation and breadth of basic knowledge from the physical sciences and engineering.

Many applications today require broad-based materials knowledge. A materials engineer may specialize in a specific class of materials (magnetic materials, nanostructured materials, polymers, biological materials, etc.) or a specific area of materials science (electrical properties, mechanical properties, materials processing, materials testing, etc.), but should possess a broad background in materials science and engineering. This program is offered at the University of California, Riverside.
