Materials Science and Engineering (BS)

The Materials Science and Engineering (BS) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Materials, Metallurgical, Ceramics, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Program Education Objectives (PEOs)

The objectives of the Materials Science and Engineering (BS) program are to produce graduates who can do one or more of the following:

• Are employed in a professional field related to materials science and engineering, or another area of their choosing, that utilizes their skills as identified in the materials science and engineering student outcomes, and/or are attending graduate or professional programs of study;
• Contribute to their profession and society through engineering practice, research and development, teaching and/or education, or in governmental, regulatory or legal aspects

Student Outcomes

Each graduate of the Materials Science and Engineering (BS) program will have:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
    
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
    
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
    
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
