Objectives
This program is designed to educate materials scientists and engineers, to develop new knowledge, and to solve problems related to the synthesis, processing, characterization, and application of materials.
Facilities for Graduate Work
Extensive facilities, including laboratories for materials research and instruction and offices for faculty members and students, are located in several buildings on the main campus and at the J. J. Pickle Research Campus. The offices for the Texas Materials Institute (TMI), the materials science and engineering graduate program, and numerous faculty members are located in the Engineering Teaching Center. Core central facilities for research include the Electron Microscopy, X-Ray Scattering, Surface Analysis, Nanofabrication and Testing, Electronic and Vibrational Scattering, Microelectronic Materials Processing, Organic Electronic Fabrication, Scanning Probe, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry, and Polymer Characterization Facilities, each of which employs a manager to assist users. Other laboratories provide mechanical testing, powder processing, corrosion testing, crystal growing, and ultrasonic, laser, magnetic, and microwave facilities for use by students and faculty members.
Areas of Study
Graduate study is focused around concentrations in nanomaterials, clean energy materials, and general materials science and engineering. Course requirements are tailored to the specific concentration.
Graduate Studies Committee
The following faculty members served on the Graduate Studies Committee in the spring semester 2013.

Admission Requirements
Students with a bachelor’s degree in engineering or in one of the physical sciences may be admitted to the materials science and engineering degree program upon the recommendation of the Graduate Studies Committee. Students who do not have a background that the committee considers satisfactory for the study of advanced materials science and engineering will be required to take preparatory coursework, some of which may be at the undergraduate level. Completion of some coursework may be required before the student begins the work for the graduate degree.
