Program overview
The field of Materials Science and Engineering is expanding into a period of unprecedented intellectual challenges and opportunities Nanostructured materials Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems MEMS and devices carbon nanotubes CNT diamond coatings prepared at low pressure and low-temperature Li-ion battery materials and high-temperature superconductivity are just a few examples of advances in this field Materials Science and Engineering is crucial to the survival of US industry and the strength of our economy and security Processing of these materials is also equally challenging It is now possible to engineer surface properties different from the bulk properties for various applications and to tailor materials from atomic scale upwards to achieve the desired functional properties of devices With the world becoming ever more flat the U S has to invest in areas where opportunities still exist for industrial growth Most advanced economies have strong Materials Science and Engineering programs in their universities institutes of advanced technology and national laboratories The graduate program will train our next generations to design materials for specialized uses making materials reliable and useful to mankind This fits OSU s mission of promoting human and economic development through the expansion of knowledge and its application
