Materials Science and Engineering

Overview

In addition, the program provides students with research training through their courses and thesis research at the MS and PhD levels.

The graduate student body reflects a broad spectrum of undergraduate backgrounds. Because of the expansion into interdisciplinary areas, qualified physical and biological science graduates may also join the program. Students without an undergraduate degree in Materials Science and Engineering are required to take MATE 503 Introduction to Materials Engineering.

Graduate programs in Materials Science and Engineering are offered both on a regular full-time and on a part-time (MS only) basis. 

Career: 

Graduates of the Materials Science and Engineering program from Drexel University   go on to careers in engineering firms, consulting firms, law firms, private industry, business, research laboratories, academia, and national laboratories. Materials scientists and engineers find employment in such organizations as Hewlett-Packard, Intel, 3M, Global Foundries, DuPont, Lockheed-Martin, Johnson and Johnson, Merck, AstraZeneca, Arkema, Army Research Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Air Products, Micron, Xerox, Motorola, Monsanto, and Corning.
