M.S. Materials Science and Engineering (Materials Science Option)

If you are interested in interdisciplinary problem-solving, the Materials Science and Engineering M.S. program will offer you an engaging and challenging educational opportunity. While students in the Materials Science M.S. program learn a wide range of skills and knowledge, we specifically aim for our students to meet the following learning outcomes:

• Upon graduation, students should acquire the fundamental set of knowledge covered by the required courses.
• Upon graduation, most of the students who consider the next level of graduate education should be able to prepare for Ph.D. qualifier exams in Materials Science and Engineering, Physics and Applied Physics at NJIT or other universities.
• Upon graduation, most of the students should be able to acquire a necessary depth of knowledge in the area of specialization, such as electronic and photonic materials, particulate and nano materials, and polymer and biomaterials to be admitted to and successfully proceed with the Ph.D. studies at NJIT or other universities.
• Upon graduation, students should be able to acquire skills to identify scientific problems, perform a literature review on the problem, and identify the solution venues in a research environment.
• Upon graduation, students should be able to demonstrate the ability to function effectively as a member of a research team with improved qualification as members of technical staff in the industry. Students should become more knowledgeable and competitive in a job market.
• Upon graduation, a student should be able to formulate a research question and develop a systematic approach to address it, at both the conceptual and technical levels.
