Materials science and engineering (MatSE) is all about understanding the structure and properties of materials ranging from the atomic scale to the macro-scale. Then we learn how to process them to get the desired performance in new and existing technologies. Materials science and engineering is a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary field. If you like math, physics, chemistry, engineering, or computer science but can’t choose between them—MatSE is the perfect place for you to explore all of these fields under one umbrella. Campers will explore this diversity through hands-on activities including guided lab activities aimed at introducing key concepts in MatSE and the opportunity to design a prototype based on materials properties that your team discovers.
To get a jump-start on college and all it entails, sign up for a summer program. Whether you want to earn class credit or explore possible majors, we have something for you! If you have questions about a program, contact the corresponding academic unit for more info.
