Why Choose Materials Science and Engineering?
In addition to their major, engineering and non-engineering undergraduate students can earn a minor in Materials Science and Engineering by completing eighteen (18) semester credit hours of course work specified below. Students will take ME 2700 - Structure and Properties of Materials I and fifteen (15) credit hours of materials science and engineering elective courses chosen from the list below.
Students who complete the 18 credit hours with an average grade of C or higher will receive the designation "Minor in Materials Science and Engineering" on their transcript upon graduation. A maximum of two courses that have been applied to another degree program can be used to satisfy the requirements of this minor.
