English Proficiency
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering requires a grade of C or better in Engl 104 and 105 and certification from the departmental curriculum committee.

1-Social sciences and humanities (SSH) electives must be departmentally approved.
2-Course in first area of emphasis (specialization).

3-Course in second area of emphasis (specialization).

4-Technical electives must be department approved.

5-The free elective may be SSH, Technical, or other graded course not of remedial nature.

6-If Electronics is chosen as a specialization then the technical elective requirement is reduced by 2 credits since 331 and 432 are 4 credits each.

*Core professional curriculum. A student must have a minimum grade-point average of 2.00 in this group of courses and certification by the department curriculum committee in order to graduate.

A Mat E student may take up to 9 credit hours from SSH and free electives on a P/NP basis, except that courses used to meet the U.S. Diversity and International Perspectives requirements may not be among them. S/F courses (different from P/NP) will be considered for these requirements on a course-by-course basis.

Areas of specialization from which a student selects two:
Ceramic Materials: 321, 322, 423, 424
Electronic Materials: 331, 332, 432, 433
Metallic Materials: 341, 342, 443, 444
Polymeric Materials: 351, Ch E 443, 453, 454
