Minor Information

Advanced materials are critical to nearly every modern technology (electronics, transportation systems, and medical devices). They also play an important role in the solutions to energy and environmental problems we face today. Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is the broad interdisciplinary field that uses the principles of chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology to develop the improved materials. With an increased focus on nanotechnology, the field is advancing rapidly and will be at the heart of new technologies that we haven't even

The MSE program at Alfred University, like our world-renowned programs in ceramics and glass, provides an excellent foundation in materials science and engineering. As a first-year MSE student, you'll explore many different types of materials in our materials processing laboratory. Over the next few years, a blend of classroom and laboratory experiences will help you define your unique interests in this very broad field. In your senior year, you'll conduct independent research with a faculty advisor - on topics ranging from high-tech alloys to nanotubes.

The Materials Science and Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
