Materials Science and Engineering

• A discipline which has played a key role for the growth of our Civilization.
  

• The advancement of this branch of Science & Engineering has led to the utilization of billions of tons
  of raw materials in nature for human existence.
  

• It is proverbial to say, "an ounce of material is worth
  tons of knowledge".
  
  
• The Masters Program in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Rochester Institute of Technology is oriented to the study of practical and theoretical aspects of materials, their operations, and their physical, electronic, mechanical, and chemical properties. The MSE graduate program gives an opportunity to learn about scientific and engineering aspects of materials.
  
  
• The center's historical record of achievement is based on its ability to relate new developments and advancements to engineering practice, its success in incorporating these advances into teaching and research programs, and its close relationship with industry. Since 1912, RIT has worked closely with employers to develop a variety of opportunities that provide students with paid work experience. Our cooperative education program is the fourth oldest and one of the largest in the world.
