Overview
This field draws upon a fundamental base of knowledge, with underpinnings in physics, chemistry and engineering. The Materials Science and Engineering program at Arizona State University extends that knowledge to address a broad range of materials-driven challenges, such as energy efficiency, sustainability, functional nanostructures, electronic materials, biomaterials and polymers.
Career Opportunities
Professionals with a materials science and engineering doctoral degree have strong opportunities at all levels in material design, selection, synthesis and characterization for a wide range of applications including electro-optical-magnetic systems, environmental systems, energy conversion and storage, manufacturing and construction.
Materials jobs are available at a large number of high tech and manufacturing companies of all sizes as well as national laboratories (DOE, DOD, NASA) and universities. Analytical skills learned in materials engineering are also valued in other nonengineering positions.
Career examples include:
- engineer
- engineering manager or director
- engineering professor
- research engineer
