Minor in Materials Engineering

In addition to the core engineering curriculum and the courses required for majors in chemical, civil, electrical or mechanical engineering, students electing to pursue a minor in materials engineering must also fulfill the following requirements.

Required courses Credits
""
MATE 221 Introduction to Mechanical Behavior of Materials 3.0
At least 21.0 credits from the following courses
MATE 214 Introduction to Polymers* 4.5
""
MATE 240 Thermodynamics of  Materials 4.0
MATE 340 Fundamentals of Ceramics 4.0
MATE 364 Microstructure of Metallic Materials 3.5
MATE 370 Mechanical Behavior of Solids** 3.0
""
PHYS 451 Quantum Structure of Materials 4.0


*MATE 214 requires CHEM 241 as a pre-requisite. If MATE 214 is elected, the credits for CHEM 241 can count toward the 21 credits.

**MATE 370 requires MATH 201 as a pre-requisite. If MATE 370 is elected, the credits for MATH 201 can count toward the 21 credits.

Note: Only one of the pre-requisites (either CHEM 241 or MATH 201) can count toward the required 21.0 credits. In other words, both MATE 214 and MATE 370 can be used to fulfill the requirement, but only the pre-requisite for one of those courses will be calculated into the 21.0 credits. Similarly, MATH 201 or CHEM 241 cannot be counted alone as fulfilling this minor. The credits for MATH 201 or CHEM 241 will only count toward the minor when the course is are taken as a prerequisite for MATE 214 or MATE 370.

Substitution for these courses of equivalent courses offered by other departments and/or institutions may be made with the approval of the Department of Materials Engineering on a case-by-case basis. At least two-thirds of the content of a substitute course must be the same as that of the course in the list above. Students pursuing the minor are encouraged to select a senior design topic that is relevant to materials.
