材料科学与工程（MSE）结合了众多学科，包括化学，物理和工程。该领域的科学家将物理和化学原理应用于工程问题，以设计和开发新材料：没有材料科学和工程，计算机芯片和太阳能电池之类的东西将不复存在。在犹他大学工程学院，该学位为学生提供了学习科学和工程学的独特机会。MSE课程由ABET工程认证委员会认证，包括纳米结构材料，复合材料，微系统设计，生物材料，核材料等课程。所有学生都将完成一个顶点设计项目，为实际的工程设计和应用做准备。您将获得在各种科学和工程领域取得成功所需的技术技能和理论知识，从而离开U大学。
Materials science and engineering (MSE) combines numerous disciplines, including chemistry, physics and engineering. Scientists in this field apply the principles of physics and chemistry to engineering problems in order to design and develop new materials. Without materials science and engineering, things like computer chips and solar cells would not exist. In the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering at the University of Utah, this degree offers students the unique opportunity to study science as well as engineering. Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, the MSE program teaches fundamental science and engineering principles that apply to all types of materials in addition to in-depth study of polymers and ceramics. Students then select upon technical electives that suit their particular interests, which can include courses in nanostructured materials, metallurgy, photovoltaic materials, single crystal growth, composites, microsystems design, biomaterials, nuclear materials, and many others. Students are also trained in and gain hands-on experience with experimental techniques to analyze structure and composition of materials—including X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, thermal analysis, and spectroscopy. All students complete a capstone design project, preparing them for real-world engineering design and applications. You will leave the University of Utah with the technical skills and theoretical knowledge you need to succeed in a variety of science and engineering fields.
