Overview

Faculty enjoy close ties with, and support from, industry and government.

Materials Science and Engineering faculty enjoy close ties with, and support from, industry and government. A recent grant of $4.5 million from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is enabling Lehigh, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pittsburgh to offer the nation's premier Web-based graduate and professional courses in Materials Science and Engineering, and to expand and enhance the three schools' characterization and microscopy facilities.

Highlights

Features of the graduate Materials Science and Engineering program at Lehigh University include:

Research thrusts in microstructural characterization, processing and properties of nanomaterials, ceramics, electronic materials and packaging, and metal processing and performance;

Interdisciplinary research projects in photonics, polymers, composites, solid free-form and nanoscale fabrication, and materials for bioapplications;

Active collaborations with researchers from Europe, South America, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East.

Programme Structure

As science and technology advance in the 21st century, progress in many fields will depend on the discovery and development of new materials, processed in more complex ways, and with new kinds of properties.

It is widely recognized that the progress of history has been divided into periods characterized by the materials that mankind has used, e.g., the stone age, the bronze age, the iron age.

Today, materials science and engineering is critical to all other fields of engineering, and advances in other fields are often limited by advances in materials.
