Materials and Sustainability
Sustainability: Fulfilling the needs of current generations without compromising the needs of future generations, while ensuring a balance between economic growth, environmental care, and social well-being.
If you are interested in making developing sustainable solutions part of your future, consider a degree in Materials Science and Engineering at Boise State University.
Materials Science and Engineering is critical to sustainability. Materials selection, processing, waste reduction, recycling are all critical components of sustainability. In addition, materials play an important role in all clean energy technologies – batteries, solar, and nuclear.  Research across the Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering addresses sustainability in a variety of ways. Research for a sustainable future is a core aspect of the Micron School of Materials Science and Engineering. Learn more about some of our specific initiatives by following the links.
