Historical Note

Materials Science and Engineering comprise the design, development, selection, and processing of engineering materials. Typical of the industries served by materials engineers are: aerospace, electrical and electronics, construction, nuclear power, and transportation. Material Sciences and Engineering includes specialty areas such as ceramic engineering, metallurgical engineering, polymeric materials, and materials processing. In general, Materials Scientists develop materials that have certain properties, such as Gore-Tex, which is made of a polymer that keeps water out while allowing sweat to evaporate. Materials Science Engineers work, according to their website, "with every material imaginable in every setting imaginable, including the human body."

The origins of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering lie in the Departments of Geology and Mineral Industries Engineering. Only in 1972 did the University create a discrete Materials Engineering Department, which became the Materials Science and Engineering Department in 1986.
