MINOR IN MATERIAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING
| The sequence of courses included in the minor in materials science (ESM) provides a solid foundation for students seeking employment in the materials science industry or those who will pursue graduate study in materials science or related fields. There are two versions of the minor: one for students enrolled in B.S. degree programs (e.g., physics and chemistry, applied math, and computer science) and another for those enrolled in B.E. degree programs. B.E. students should see the ESG Undergraduate Program Director major for approval before declaring the Materials Science Minor. A description of the requirements for this minor follows. |
