Overview

Advanced materials are the foundation of manufactured products and many of the technological advances of this century were enabled by the development of new materials.

The Materials Science and Engineering course offered by Florida International University (FIU) offers specialization in metallurgy, ceramics, electronic materials, nanomaterials, and biomaterials.

Because everything is made of materials and new materials, such as nanomaterials, are rapidly being developed, materials science and engineering is a growth field in engineering.

This program provides an opportunity for students to enhance their technical knowledge and to conduct research that can aid in their professional development.

Potential Careers

There is an increasing demand for graduates in materials science and engineering, with high technology industries leading the need for graduates. In fact, many of the companies needing materials scientists and engineers did not exist 20 years ago. Because everything is made of materials and new materials, such as nanomaterials, are rapidly being developed, materials science and engineering is a growth field in engineering.
