Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering - Nanoscience and Molecular Engineering

Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is an interdisciplinary field where the scientific fundamentals of materials, their structure and properties and their design and processing for real-world applications are explored. Developing new equipment for materials development, and exploring new uses for existing and new materials are also essential tasks of MSE, particularly to meet the needs of modern technology. MSE offers two bachelor’s degrees, one in MSE and another in MSE with a degree option in Nanoscience and Molecular Engineering. A BS-to-MS program is also available to highly qualified undergraduates. Preparing our students for the wide variety of jobs that await them is our highest priority. Our graduates find employment in the aerospace, automotive, biomedical, chemical, construction, electronics, energy and telecommunication industries. We are proud to lay the foundations for successful careers in many sectors of the economy, from academia to industry. The Nanoscience and Molecular Engineering (NME) Option offers a discipline-tailored curriculum in Nanoscience and Molecular Engineering to a variety of majors in departments of the College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences. The degree option introduces students to nanoscale principles in molecular engineering, provides hands-on experience and stresses the interdisciplinary aspects of this field.
