Master of Science [M.S] (Materials Engineering)
Field of Study:
$16,471/Yr
Because everything we use is made of materials, materials engineering serves as the foundation for many engineering advances. Using science and engineering principles to select, design and manufacture materials, materials engineers design, develop, fabricate and evaluate materials for use in engineering applications. They combine engineering problem solving with scientific curiosity to understand how and why materials behave the way they do.
With more than 12,000 square feet of laboratory space, Auburn?s materials engineering facilities house the newest, cutting-edge equipment, enabling students to develop skills working with advanced engineering instrumentation. The department is affiliated with several laboratories and research centers, including:
- Materials Research and Education Center (MREC)
- Auburn University Detection and Food Safety Center Samuel Ginn College of Engineering Materials Engineering
- Materials Processing Laboratories
- Materials Characterization Facilities
- Mechanical Testing Facilities
Materials engineering provides opportunities to perform research in areas such as:
- Nano/microscale materials
- Sensors, biomaterials and functional materials
- Food detection and safety
- Sustainability in materials, energy and processing
Life after graduation
Materials-related challenges exist in virtually every technological field, so materials engineers are in demand and well equipped to adapt to changes in the job market. This flexibility allows materials engineers to explore interests in a wide variety of related disciplines, which is the main reason for the cross-disciplinary sequence provided to our students. The starting salary range for Auburn materials engineers is $70,000 to $80,000. The Master of Materials Engineering course is offered by Auburn University.
Important Dates
Applicant should submit all required materials at least 90 days before the first day of class of the semester in which the student wishes to begin graduate study.
