Materials Science and Engineering
Description of the Major
The major enables you to develop an understanding of materials systems and their role in engineering. Emphasis is placed on the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering principles to materials science and engineering; to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data; and to design a "Program Name" system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability.

This is a nationally accredited ABET program.
Additional information is available from your major's website.
Before Graduating You Must
  • Pass an assessment by two or more faculty and/or industry practitioners of performance on a major design experience.
  • Pass assessment in two courses of individual assignments targeted to each learning outcome. Assessment will be provided by the instructor of the course according to department standards.
  • Complete an exit interview in your final semester.
  • Satisfy the Florida statutory requirements for CLAST.
  • Complete requirements for the baccalaureate degree, as determined by faculty.
