MSc in Materials Science and Engineering, Catholic University of America

Few fields of science or engineering are not concerned in some way with materials. Indeed, the need for materials is as pervasive in our lives as is the need for energy. It has been estimated that the work of one in three engineers is directly related to materials, while over half of all engineers have at least an indirect concern for the properties of materials.;Materials science deals with fundamental properties and characteristics of materials and combines engineering with physics and chemistry, and uses them to solve real-world problems. The area of specialization in the present world of materials science and engineering are nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, energy, manufacturing, and other major engineering fields. Materials scientists may work with ceramics, electronics, energy, liquids crystals, metals, semiconductors and nanocomposits in order to understand the materials properties, their application and develop new materials with enhanced materials properties.;I want to find another Master Course;The master's degree program in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Catholic University of America caters to working professionals in the Washington D.C., metropolitan area seeking an advanced degree to advance their career pursuits. ;The program emphasizes advances in existing and emerging technologies in materials science which include:;nanotechnology;composite materials;carbon nanotube-based materials and sensors;biomaterials;glasses, ceramics, and metallurgy;magnetic and optical materials;computational materials science
