The Department of Materials Science and Engineering offers graduate students the opportunity to conduct state-of-the-art research under the supervision of world-class faculty while pursuing Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees in the discipline. Students can receive financial support, usually through individual faculty, which allows them to be involved in research projects that will satisfy thesis or dissertation requirements.

Research areas in which a student may become involved include the following: bioactive ceramics, biomaterials, ceramics and glass processing, composites, computational materials, electronic materials, environmental stability of materials, machining and manufacturing, materials chemistry, mechanical behavior of materials, metals and alloys, mining and minerals, nanotechnologies, optical properties of materials, optoelectronics, particle science, photonic materials, polymers, recycling, solidification and metals processing, and surfaces and thin films.
