College of EngineeringDepartment of Materials EngineeringAcademicsUndergraduateMinorsMaterials Science Minor
Students completing this 15-hour minor will have an understanding science underlying the structure-property relationships in solid state materials. The minor provides student with understanding of the solid state chemistry and physics that are applied to control materials properties and design fabrication processes. The minor can provide complementary scientific understanding to engineering students or demonstrate application of science to materials properties to students from the sciences.
