This multidisciplinary program prepares professionals to fully understand the science of materials and how this science can be used to engineer these materials. This is key to driving product innovation in all industries from aviation, medical equipment, and gadgets, all the way to environmentally friendly and biodegradable products.

This program focuses on the desire to increase in the mechanical and environmental longevity of components in manufacturing, with wide applicability to materials processing, oil and gas, and manufacturing industries. Topics include the structures and mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties of non-metallics, and the processing of ceramics, polymers, and composites. Students learn materials selection and design, mechanical design process, product shape, multiple constraints, conflicting objectives, hybrid materials, the impact of materials selection on the environment, composite materials and their application, fibers, matrices, etc. Topics also cover polymers (homogeneous and heterogeneous polymerization processes, engineering properties of polymers, etc.), and the failure of materials.
