Offered by: Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Administrative Contact: MS&E undergraduate program director, 214 Bard Hall, 255-9159
Eligibility: Students in all Majors except Materials Science and Engineering may participate in this minor.
Educational Objectives: Materials form the core basis of many engineering disciplines
including mechanical, civil, chemical, and electrical engineering. This minor provides
engineers in related majors with the fundamental understanding of mechanisms
that determine the performance, properties, and processing of modern materials.
Requirements
At least six (6) courses (> of 18 credits), chosen as follows:
I. Required
| MS&E 261 | Mechanical Properties of Materials: From Nanodevices to Superstructures |
| or MS&E 262 | Electronic Materials for the Information Age |
II. Two of the following| MS&E 206 | Atomic and Molecular Structure of Matter |
| MS&E 301 | Materials Chemistry |
| MS&E 303 | Thermodynamics of Condensed Systems |
| MS&E 304 | Kinetics, Diffusion, and Phase Transformations |
| MS&E 305 | Electronic, Magnetic, and Dielectric Properties of Materials |
| MS&E 402 | Mechanical Properties of Materials, Processing, and Design |
III. Three electives chosen from the following:- MS&E 261, MS&E 262, and any course at the 300 level or above
- Selected courses in materials properties and processing (at the 300 level or above) from A&EP, CHEME, CEE, ECE, M&AE, PHYS, and CHEM, as approved by the MS&E undergraduate coordinator.
