MSMSE Materials Science and Engineering
Strengthen the Fabric of Your Career
The Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering at UCF is designed to advance your knowledge and skills in the development and discovery of materials. The degree, housed within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, offers a wide variety of courses that provide state-of-the-art research opportunities working with faculty members who are active in various sponsored research funded by local and national industry partners. As a UCF materials science and engineering graduate student, you will gain knowledge and expertise in nanomaterials, biomaterials, materials stability and degradation, and high temperature materials and coatings. Plus, with close contact to key personnel from local industry, you’ll have a solid avenue for future employment opportunities to start or advance your career.
Materials Science and Engineering at UCF
At the graduate level, UCF offers a Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering through the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The program is designed for students with bachelor’s degrees in materials science and engineering or a closely related discipline. As a graduate student, the opportunities for research are plentiful. Fields of emphasis and research include crystal growth, multicomponent interdiffusion, shape memory alloys, mechanical behavior, magnetic and optical and electronic materials, thin films, solar cells, sensors, ceramics, powder metallurgy, non-equilibrium processing of materials, nano synthesis and consolidation, nanomaterials including quantum dots, nanowires and nanocomposites, biomaterials, and electrochemically active materials.
Research Facilities
As a graduate student in materials science and engineering, you can find work in our faculty-led laboratories, where novel solutions to the problems of today are developed. You can also find opportunities to conduct research at the NanoScience Technology Center, a state-of-the-art facility where discoveries in green energy, quantum dynamics, bioimaging, nanoelectronics, and functional nanomaterials are made.
Where Do Graduates Work?
With a Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering from UCF, you can prepare to work for a variety of engineering organizations including NASA, Siemens, and General Electric. Our graduates work for these organizations and more, including Kismet Technologies, the NASA Glenn Research Center, Orthomerica Products, and Soarce. Our master’s degree also prepares you for a doctoral degree in materials science and engineering.
