Materials Engineering University of Wisconsin Milwaukee

Overview

In our tight-knit classrooms, labs and through internships and co-ops, you’ll blend knowledge in chemistry, physics and engineering as you investigate the relationship between the structure of materials at the atomic or molecular level and their macroscopic properties.

In the Materials Engineering program at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee  you’ll graduate ready to apply your knowledge to in fields such as aerospace, architecture, biomedicine, computers and electronics, construction, metal manufacturing, transportation and recreation.

What You’ll Do

Because everything we use is made of some material or combination of materials, materials science engineers are central to the development and design of new products. Your work might focus on:

• Developing new materials for applications in energy, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and others

• Failure analysis

• Fundamental research including computational materials and laboratory-based work

• Primary production processes and subsequent manufacturing such as metal casting, polymer processing, advanced coatings

• Quality control

• Business development and intellectual property
