Bachelor degrees in Materials Science: A program that focuses on the general application of mathematical and scientific principles to the analysis and evaluation of the characteristics and behavior of solids, including internal structure, chemical properties, transport and energy flow properties, thermodynamics of solids, stress and failure factors, chemical transformation states and processes, compound materials, and research on industrial applications of specific materials.
Students interested in pursuing intensive study in Materials Science should
contact the Chemistry or Physics Department for advice in formulating an independent
program of study. You can then apply to the Committe on Student Standing and
Programs for consideration and approval of such an independent Concentration.
All technologies are based upon materials. The performance of technological systems is often limited by the materials that are available for their design. This is true of integrated circuits, jet engines, structural ceramics, fuel cells, medical sensors, and a wide variety of other high technology devices. Materials science focuses on understanding the physical, chemical and engineering properties of solid state materials, such as semiconductors,...
Materials Science & Engineering (MSE) is an engineering discipline that applies the tools of basic and applied sciences and engineering to the manufacture and application of materials and devices, because essentially every technology (historical, modern, and future) depends on materials development and innovation. The four broad classes of Materials to which this paradigm is applied are metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites.
The rapid progress of modern technology continues to be driven by advances in our understanding of the science of the materials, which underpin these technologies. An education at Penn in the field of materials science, will provide the foundation for a leadership role in a career pathway in any of the many areas of current technology.
Each student in the department receives individualized faculty mentoring throughout the course of their personally...
