Overview

The Bronze Age. The Stone Age. We wouldn鈥檛 have such metallic names for eras like these if materials weren鈥檛 so important to our daily lives. Materials Science is a major that explores these materials in-depth. You鈥檒l learn about the structure and properties of materials, and the relationships between them. You鈥檒l learn what controls and affects internal structures, and the processes that can alter them. Why materials act the way they do will be one area of concentration; how materials are processed will be another. You鈥檒l also learn how to produce new materials, and the variety of uses for existing ones.


You鈥檒l study a great deal of physics and chemistry in this major, and you鈥檒l be immersed in a great deal of laboratory work. You鈥檒l learn how to apply mathematics to your studies, and you鈥檒l do a lot of problem solving using your newfound skills. Communications technology, the computer industry, and biotechnology are just a few of the modern fields that require the expertise of materials scientists and engineers.


As a Materials Science major, you鈥檒l become skilled at identifying, characterizing, manufacturing, designing, and processing many materials we use in our everyday life. Cornell University suggests that we are living in the 鈥淢aterials Age,鈥 so you can be confident that your major will lead to an exciting career.
