Concentration in Materials Science & Engineering
Concentrations in Materials are available for Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering majors. Operationally, MQP is the key factor distinguishing the Concentration from the Minor. A ME or CM major who completes his or her MQP on a materials topic along with the required two units of course work would earn a Materials Concentration. This total of at least three unit of work in the Materials are would provide the maximum amount of focus available for these majors.
Requirements for the Materials Concentration in Mechanical Engineering
Materials Science And Engineering (Sisson)
Students interested in a strong materials science and engineering component can elect course and project activities in metals, ceramics, polymers, and composite materials with laboratory and project experience using facilities in Stoddard Laboratories.
Typical MQP topics include: X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, computer modeling, mechanical testing and deformation mapping, plastic deformation, ceramic processing, friction, wear, corrosion, and materials processing. Another option in the materials program is a Minor in Materials, which is described under Materials Engineering in this catalog.
