Graduate programs

The Materials Science and Engineering department maintains a graduate degree program that offers M.M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees.

M.M.S.E requirements

Ph.D. requirements

At the master's level, the academic program consists of a core series of required courses covering those aspects of materials science considered essential to a fundamental understanding of materials; these courses cover physical and mechanical properties, materials characterization, thermodynamics, and kinetics as well as applied mathematics. The requirements for the Ph.D. degree include the aforementioned required courses plus more specialized materials courses, as well as additional mathematics and materials physics courses.

The MSEG faculty have expertise in the following areas of materials science research.

  • polymers
  • composites
  • electronic and magnetic materials
  • physical metallurgy
  • organic thin films

 

 

For undergraduates

MSEG ensures that suitable undergraduate courses in materials science are available to the engineering departments. These courses include "Materials Science for Engineers," required for most engineering students, and more advanced courses available as electives for juniors and seniors wishing to pursue a specialization (minor) in materials science.

Minor

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering only offers a minor to engineering and science students.

For high school and middle school science teachers

Material Awareness Program

The Materials Science and Engineering Department and the Materials Research Society at the University of Delaware have started a demonstration program to help increase the awareness of materials science to the local community. At local schools, we perform interactive demonstrations with students ranging in age from 8-16 years old. We believe that by introducing materials science and all other sciences interactively.
