What is MSE?
Materials science and engineering involves the study of advanced materials, including electronic materials, polymers, biomaterials, materials for energy and metals and their composites. It is an interdisciplinary field that draws from the fundamentals of chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. Research involves processing and synthesis, characterization and testing, device design and fabrication of materials, and their uses in various applications.
Because The University of Texas at Dallas’ materials science research is heavily focused on applications, virtually all students who enroll in the program will be involved in research and development work funded by industry or the government, making them attractive to potential employers upon graduation. They will have access to the University’s world-class research facilities and infrastructure, including a state-of-the art clean room located in the $85 million Natural Science and Engineering Research Laboratory (NSERL).
