Sample A.B./B.E. Program: Materials Science and Engineering

Materials are fundmental to engineering. Students interested in materials science and engineering learn about metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, and composites.

Faculty advisors: Professors Baker, Frost, Lasky, Levey, Liu, Petrenko, Schulson, Van Citters
