Essentially every technology depends on materials development
and innovation. Novel technologies are often initiated based on
materials innovations, while conventional technologies rely on
materials development to either reduce production cost or respond
to mandates of the marketplace. The overarching paradigm of
materials science and engineering is to exploit the connection
between processing, microstructure and the properties of a material
in order to choose a material that will fit the performance criteria for
a given application. Thus, in Materials Science and Engineering, one
must develop: (1) an understanding of current materials and their
applications; (2) an ability to further improve current materials;
and, (3) an ability to understand the potential applications of new
materials, as they are developed. In addition to this product specific
knowledge, a Materials Engineer must understand the implications
of Materials processing routes on the environment and energy
resources and must be involved in life cycle analysis to ensure
that the material can be properly produced, used and recycled in a
sustainable manner.
Materials Science & Engineering is therefore the discipline that
applies the tools of basic and applied science to the processing,
manufacture and application of materials and devices. Graduates of
the MSE department are pursuing careers in an expanding spectrum
of companies, national laboratories, and universities. Their activities
cover a wide range of materials related endeavors that include
microelectronics, energy production and storage, biomedical,
biotechnology, aerospace, information technology, nanotechnology,
manufacturing and materials production. Our undergraduates are
encouraged to participate in the current research programs of
the faculty and a majority of our students conduct undergraduate
research projects as part of their program.
Materials subjects fall into three broad areas: (1) materials
characterization, (2) the synthesis and processing of materials in
order to obtain desired properties, and (3) the ability to understand
and predict the behavior of materials under diverse conditions.
Due to the need to understand materials microstructure, chemistry
and properties, students in Materials Engineering learn techniques
of materials characterization in the digital microscopy classroom
(http://materials.cmu.edu/degraef/MCL.shtml) in the J. Earl and
Mary Roberts Materials Characterization Laboratory, a state of the
art facility for materials characterization within the department.
Materials Science and Engineering is the overarching term
describing specific interests in metals, polymers, ceramics,
composites and electronic materials. It has become increasingly
clear that the properties of all these types of materials are
related fundamentally through parameters that describe internal
structure. Furthermore, it has been found that the equipment and
instrumentation, as well as the theoretical and analytical tools,
which are necessary to process, study and understand one type
of material are often well suited for others. Thus a common set
of tools and understanding has been developed that applies to the
complete spectrum of materials types, including ceramics, polymers,
metals, semiconductors and composites, etc.
The standard curriculum of the department provides fundamental
training for all of materials science and engineering areas (http://
materials.cmu.edu/ugrad/std_fresh.html). The core courses provide
understanding and tools for working with the (atomic) structure
of materials, the defects (dislocations, interfaces etc.) that largely
govern their properties, the thermodynamic relationships that
govern the stability of materials, and the rates at which changes
take place in materials. The paradigm of materials science is
that one must understand the internal or surface structure of
materials in order to predict and engineer their properties: this is
addressed in the core courses on “Microstructure & Properties” and
“Selection & Performance” of materials. There is also a capstone
design experience in the final year that is aimed at integration
of knowledge and team skill development. The elective program
allows the attainment of excellence in a student’s chosen specialty,
whether it is ceramics, semiconductors, metals, composites,
magnetic or optical materials, biomaterials or polymers. The
option of concentration in the one or more of the areas of electronic
materials*, engineering design*, biomedical engineering*,
environmental engineering*, manufacturing engineering*,
mechanical behavior of materials*, biomedical and health
engineering**, and engineering and public policy**, is available.
(*= Designated Minor, **= Double Major). In addition, a number of
elective tracks have been developed to aid the student in choosing
various courses of specialization in the electives. (http://neon.
mems.cmu.edu/MSE/tracks.html)
Based on the broad range of destinations for graduates of the
MSE program, our curriculum is designed to provide a strong
foundation in fundamental knowledge and skills. This provides an
excellent basis for the substantial fraction of our graduates who go
on to graduate school. For the equally substantial fraction of our
graduates who find employment in industry, the program provides
the foundation on which a graduate can build his/her domain
specific knowledge. For those individuals who move on to other
areas, the MSE curriculum provides a modern liberal education,
i.e. one that inculcates a thoughtful, problem-solving approach to
professional life. It is thus the goal of our education to provide a
general education in Materials Science and Engineering that will
enable our graduates to easily switch between materials industries
as their career develops or to go to any of the leading institutions of
graduate education in Materials and be successful.
Educational Objectives
All ABET accredited academic programs publish long term program
objectives, along with statements that describe what students are
expected to know or be able to do by the time of graduation from
the program. The faculty of the Department of Materials Science
and Engineering, in consultation with students, alumni and other
interested parties, has decided that the overarching objective of
the MSE curriculum is to provide an education that enables our
graduates to be productive and fulfilled professionals throughout
their careers.
Specifically, our program will produce graduates who:
(1) are successful in a top graduate school and/or in materials
engineering positions;
(2) excel in professionalism and leadership in modern materials
engineering practice, while accounting for the impact of their
profession on an evolving society;
(3) creatively advance our collective understanding of the principles
of materials science and engineering and/or innovate the design
of technological systems;
(4) contribute effectively as an individual, team member, or a leader
to achieve group and institutional goals.
Based on these objectives, our program is focused to allow our
students to be successful regardless of their future career choice.

Industrial Intern Program
An industrial internship option (IIO - cooperative educational
program) within the department offers an MSE student an
opportunity to obtain valuable experience and insight from
alternating periods in industry and on campus (beginning the
spring after the sophomore year). The combination of learning
while participating in an industrial environment with academic
course work creates strongly motivated students and a personalized
learning situation. Graduation with a B.S. degree occurs four and
one-third calendar years after entering the university. Exceptionally
able students may be admitted to a program leading to both the
B.S. and M.S. degrees in five years. Students in the IIO program
should consult with their faculty advisors before electing to
participate in any of the designated minor programs.
Following the standard or industrial internship programs the
graduate of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is
well prepared for leadership in our highly technological society which
continues to demand more and more from the materials used in
engineered systems. Many of our graduates elect to continue their
education to the Master’s and Doctoral Level in order to satisfy their
need for advanced education in the discipline.

Integrated B.S./M.S. Program
Undergraduates have the opportunity to receive simultaneously or
be sequentially awarded B.S. and M.S. degrees in MSE by taking an
additional 96 units of coursework at Carnegie Mellon. The primary
purpose of the Integrated Masters/ Bachelor Degree Program is
to provide students with superior breadth and depth in technical
material, which will better prepare them for careers in industry. The
Integrated Masters/Bachelor Degree Program normally requires an
additional academic year of coursework beyond the B.S. Degree
Requirements. However, students interested in pursuing the
Integrated M.S./B.S. Degrees are encouraged to begin taking some
of the required graduate courses before their last year.
Degree Requirements
The following are the additional requirements for the Integrated
M.S./B.S. Degrees over and above the requirements for the B.S.
Degree. Note that no course can be counted as satisfying more
than one of the requirements listed below and no course used to
satisfy the B.S. Degree requirements can be used to satisfy one of
the requirements listed below. The requirements total 96 units. The
96 additional units needed to satisfy the M.S. degree component
of the Integrated Program can not be used to satisfy any other
requirements such as a double major or minor.
1. Course Option (96 units)
27-780 Thermodynamics
27-788 Defects in Materials
27-766 Diffusion in Materials
27-796 Structure of Materials
27-797 Bonding of Materials
•plus 60 units of 500 or 700 level Materials Science and Engineering
courses.
2. Research Option (30 units, Summer 4-th year)
27-780 Thermodynamics
27-788 Defects in Materials
27-766 Diffusion in Materials
27-796 Structure of Materials
27-797 Bonding of Materials
•plus 30 units of 500 or 700 level Materials Science and Engineering
courses.
•plus 30 units of 27-756 Masters project (usually taken in the
summer of the fourth year).
The Integrated B.S./M.S. Degree Program is available to all
under-graduates who maintain a cumulative QPA of 3.0 or better,
including the freshman year. Students must also maintain a QPA
of 3.0 in courses used to satisfy the requirements of the M.S.
degree. No course with a grade lower than C will be counted toward
the Master’s Degree requirements (those over and above the
requirements for the B.S. Degree).
Students (with a cumulative QPA of 3.0 or higher) become eligible
to apply to the program during the spring semester of their junior
year, or the semester in which they accumulate 280 or more units,
whichever is earlier. Interested students should apply to the
Department Head of Materials Science and Engineering prior to
February 15 of their junior year.
As with all M.S. Degrees in the Department of Materials Science
and Engineering, students must pass the master’s comprehensive
examination which should be taken near the end of the Spring
semester of the fourth year. Although some specific graduate
courses are required above, substitutions are permitted within
the freedom of the normal requirements for the M.S. degree (see
graduate curriculum information for further details). Students
interested in a program with a strong research orientation are
encouraged to elect 27-402 MSE Capstone Course II as part of their
undergraduate program.
