The Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Minor is available to students from any major and is particularly useful for students in engineering, chemistry, physics, and textiles by providing a foundational understanding of materials science and engineering principles. Students gain knowledge in the relationships between structure, properties, processing, and performance for a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and electronic materials. This minor enhances career opportunities in materials-related industries and prepares students for graduate studies in MSE.
