Program Description:
The combined BS in Materials Science and Engineering/MS in Materials Science and Engineering program allows students to earn a BS in Materials Science and Engineering and a MS in Materials Science and Engineering in a total of 5 years. Up to nine (9) semester credit hours of graduate courses at the ME 6000/7000 level may be double-counted and applied to both the BS and the MS degree requirements.
Admission Requirements:
1. Completion of at least 75 semester credit hours towards BS degree.
2. Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4
3. Must be enrolled as a full-time student
To Apply:
Complete the Combined BS/MS Degree Program application and a graduate program of study.
The program educational objectives for the Materials Science and Engineering program are:
Objective 1: Be employed in the engineering profession or pursing graduate studies
Objective 2: Successfully compete in a globally integrated environment
Objective 3: Be engaged in life-long learning through continuing education and other avenues in a rapidly changing technical environment
BSMSE Program Learning Outcomes:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- 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
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- 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
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
MSMSE Program Learning Outcomes:
- Be able to think critically, creatively and have the ability to identify and solve problems in materials science and engineering (critical thinking and problem solving)
- Be able to pursue scholarship or creative endeavors, and conduct some degree of independent research (knowledge and scholarship)
- Be able to demonstrate attributes of professional development consistent with expectations within this discipline (professional development)
- Be able to effectively communicate scientific and engineering ideas and developments (communication)
- Demonstrate a mathematical competency above that of an undergraduate engineering student (math knowledge)
