MSE additional major programs

Students may choose to augment the traditional Materials Science and Engineering degree with the addition of courses specializing in the policy aspects of engineering (Engineering and Public Policy) or the biomedical aspect of engineering (Biomedical Engineering). Students pursuing these opportunities are not educated to be a different kind of engineer; rather, their education is intended to enable them to be better, more socially responsible engineers in the traditional technical fields.

Materials Science and Engineering/Biomedical Engineering (BMTE) 

Combines the strong foundation in mathematics and physical sciences associated with materials science with the development of skills to rigorously analyze the implication of engineering activities in a biological and medical context.

Materials Science and Engineering/Engineering and Public Policy (MSE-EPP)

Combines the strong foundation in mathematics and physical sciences associated with materials science with the development of skills to rigorously analyze the implication of engineering activities in social and political arenas using economics, statistics, decision-making, and communication.
