What will I learn?

MEng in Materials Science & Engineering

The flexible Master of Engineering (MEng) in Materials Science & Engineering program is a professional master's program that can be completed in one year of full-time study, or up to two years if an internship or project-based experience is desired. Part-time options are also available. This program is aimed at:

Graduating senior students who want a one-year master's in materials before they look for industrial jobs

Mid-career professionals who want to switch careers and would like to complete a one-year master's degree between jobs

Industry professionals who want exposure to materials science and engineering and engineering management to further their careers, by complementing technical MSE courses with an engineering management focus that emphasizes elements of technology leadership and product development and management

Learning Outcomes

Students who complete the MEng in Materials Science & Engineering program will be able to:

Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to identify, formulate, and solve materials science and engineering problems.

Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.

Use modern engineering tools and techniques to successfully practice the engineering profession in a variety of settings.

Use oral and written communication to convey technical concepts to engineers and non-engineers.

Collaborate as member or leader of a technical project team.

Curriculum

Students are required to complete a minimum of 32 unit hours applicable to the degree. No master's thesis is required. A minimum of 28 units must be applied toward graduate courses (500 level or above). A maximum of 4 units can be applied toward a junior/senior-level undergraduate course, if it serves as a prerequisite for a graduate course taken by the student as part of the program.

Master of Engineering students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 to remain in good academic standing and to graduate. All graduate courses are counted in the GPA. Only grades of C or better fulfill MEng curricular requirements.

Curriculum

The 32 units must be selected as follows:

Two core MSE courses (see below) (8 units)

Two other structured MSE courses (courses listed below other than engineering management courses and courses with a 900 designation) (8 units)

One structured engineering management course (see below) (4 units)

Three other courses (12 units)

Practicum (4 units) ENG MS 539, ENG MS 782, ENG MS 951, or ENG MS 952 and two (8 units) engineering, science, or engineering management courses not used to satisfy core, structured, or engineering management requirements

MSE Courses

CORE (2 COURSES)

ENG MS 505 Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics and

ENG MS 577 Electrical, Optical, and Magnetic Properties of Materials OR CAS PY 543 Introduction to Solid-State Physics (by instructor approval only)

Both CAS PY 543 and ENG MS 577 satisfy the core requirement in solid-state physics. Only one of these two courses may be taken for units.

SUBSTITUTE CORE OPTIONS

Students who demonstrate competence in a first-year 500-level thermodynamics and solid-state physics course through prior coursework may petition to substitute the core requirements by taking other MS-designated core courses listed below.

ENG ME 582 Mechanical Behavior of Materials

ENG MS 503 Kinetic Processes in Materials

ENG MS 504 Polymers and Soft Materials

ENG MS 508 Computational Methods in Materials Science

ENG MS 574 Physics of Semiconductor Materials

Structured MSE Related Courses

Any two courses, 8 units. Students are not limited to one area.
