Research
There are tremendous opportunities for researchers in materials science and engineering to meet the exciting demands for the development and processing of new materials, and to extend the range of service and application of existing and traditional materials. The graduate students in materials science actively participate in six research centers on the Mines campus. The following centers promote interaction between students and faculty from different departments and interested scientists and engineers from industry and government agencies:
Colorado Center for Advanced Ceramics
Center for Welding, Joining and Coatings Research
Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center
Advanced Coatings and Surface Engineering Laboratory
W.J. Kroll Institute for Extractive Metallurgy
Center for Solar and Electronic Materials
The Ph.D. consist of a broad-based interdisciplinary program that ensures a sound understanding of the scientific principles of materials with specialization in one of the following primary areas:
Advanced Polymeric Materials
Biomaterials
Ceramics
Composites
Computational Materials Science
Electronic Materials
Joining Science
Mechanics of Materials
Nuclear Materials
Surfaces & Interfaces/Films & Coatings
Doctor of Philosophy
The Ph.D. program consists of 72 hours of course and research credit after the Bachelor’s Degree. Students must complete the materials science core curriculum plus additional courses as required by the focus area as well as a minimum of 30 hours of research credit. A written and/or oral qualifying examination in one of the primary areas listed above is also required. Students must then write and defend a doctoral dissertation.
