Materials Science and Engineering

You will learn how to turn raw materials into useful products and technology in Wright State’s materials science and engineering program. The curriculum includes advanced coursework in mechanics, thermal sciences, fluids, materials, electronics, mechanical systems, and design. New technology is creating a need for new materials, which is driving the demand for engineers in research. Graduates with a bachelor's degree will frequently work in product design, process engineering, materials selection, testing, quality control, and technical sales. Earn your Bachelor of Science or Master of Science degree or add a minor to your existing major.
