MSE at Rutgers

Welcome to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Our students solve problems related to the design, processing, and evaluation of conventional and specialty materials. The MSE curriculum equips students with solid training in chemistry, applied physics, and processing, preparing them for careers in a variety of different fields. With access to all the major instrumentation and processing equipment used in industry, students work to solve engineering problems as they learn how to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical situations.
