MA/MS in Materials Engineering

This master's in materials engineering is taught in a department shared with civil and environmental engineering at UIC. Students who wish to go further can pursue a doctorate in the field there. Topics of study include metals, ceramics, nanomaterials, electronic materials, composites, techniques for joining, how liquids harden, corrosion, and processing. The range lets a student lean toward structural materials, electronics, or manufacturing methods. The same department awards civil engineering degrees at both graduate levels, so there is overlap with neighboring areas. The catalog entry points to admission rules and degree requirements, and it also links to the department home page, which carries current information about faculty members and curriculum. Applicants should consult both before settling on a plan of study.
