*Recipient of university-wide or school teaching award.
In addition to the general requirements for the Master of Science degree, add the following required courses: MASC 501, 503, 505, 539 and at least two out of MASC 504, 534 and 561. The nine remaining units for the degree may be electives chosen with departmental approval.
Requirements for the Engineer in Materials Science degree are the same as set forth in the general requirements for graduate degrees.
The Doctor of Philosophy with a major in materials science is awarded in strict conformity with the general requirements of the Graduate School. It includes MASC 502 in addition to the course requirements for the Master of Science degree. See general requirements for graduate degrees.
Students with an interest in the characterization, selection and processing of engineering materials, and in materials problems related to engineering design may work toward a Master of Science in Materials Engineering. This degree is awarded in conformity with the general requirements of the School of Engineering. Students may elect to work for this degree in either the Materials Science or Mechanical Engineering Departments. The specific courses that constitute an acceptable program must be approved in advance by the administering department.
