Master of Engineering [M.Eng] [Materials Science and Engineering] From Virginia Tech

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering awards the M.S. (thesis required), the M.Eng. (non-thesis), and the Ph.D. in materials science and engineering. Candidates for these degrees must hold, or be pursuing, a degree in any branch of engineering, physics, chemistry, geological science, or mathematics.

Specialization is available in: 1) structure and properties of crystalline and non-crystalline materials, 2) materials synthesis, processing, and fabrication, 3) theoretical understanding and computer modeling of materials structures, properties and processes, 4) phase transformations, 5) thermodynamics and phase equilibria, 6) diffusion and kinetics of solid state reactions, and 7) mechanical, thermal, electrical, optical, and magnetic property characterization of all material types, and 8) microelectronic and optoelectronic materials.
