Materials Engineering is the study of the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of engineering materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers and biomaterials. A materials engineer predicts and controls material properties through an understanding of atomic, molecular, crystalline and microscopic structures of engineering materials. As an essential member of an engineering team, the materials engineer is responsible for synthesis and processing of advanced materials.
The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering in the Newark College of Engineering will submit to ABET a Request for Evaluation (RFE) of the new Materials Engineering program, as soon as the program is eligible for accreditation (per "Information for Programs Seeking Initial Accreditation," https://www.abet.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/New-Program-FAQ-10-11.pdf).
Please contact Professor Murat Guvendiren for more information about the program.
