Educational Objectives
Within a few years of graduation, materials science and engineering graduates will be:
- Fully qualified as materials engineers, with an ability to adapt and progress in a rapidly changing field.
- Well-rounded individuals who both understand the principles and can undertake the practice of the science and engineering of materials.
- Able to operate as effective engineers or scientists in materials industries, academia, or related fields.
Student Outcomes
At the time of graduation, materials science and engineering students will possess:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations, and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
