The Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering offers a combined major in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Engineering.
Materials Science and Engineering is directed toward an understanding of the structure, properties, and behavior of materials.
Society demands new and improved materials with capabilities far superior to common metals, alloys, and ceramics. New materials are needed for high-speed transportation systems, surgical and dental implants, new generations of power plants, and solid-state electronic devices in computer and communication technology. Both the development of new materials and the understanding of present-day materials demand a thorough knowledge of basic engineering and scientific principles including crystal structure, elastic and plastic behavior, thermodynamics, phase equilibria and reaction rates, and physical and chemical behavior of engineering materials.
