Master of Science in Materials Engineering

University of Alabama Birmingham - INTO USA

Youve got a pretty good knowledge of how a lot of stuffs made, but now you want to take your education to the next level. In this program, we want to build on what you learned in undergrad and prepare you for a career as a developer, consultant, or other position.To set you up for success in the real world, weve made research an integral part of our program. Youll be working with metals and alloys, polymers and composites, biomaterials, healthcare materials and devices, ceramics and glass, and nanomaterials for a wide array of applications. This is in addition to your coursework, which will include classes such as Nanobiomaterials, Metals and Alloys, and Mechanical Behavior of Materials. Finally, depending on your individual goals, we have three different ways for you to earn your degree. For one, youll research, prepare, and defend a thesis. You also have two non-thesis options: one with an emphasis on research and design, and the other emphasizing technology and engineering management. Each of these require research and a comprehensive exam to graduate.
