About the course
Materials science and engineering deals with the behavior of any material and its relationship to structure on all levels: atomic structure, nanostructure, microstructure, and macrostructure. Structure determinds the properties of matter: how materials act, how materials react, and how materials function in different environments. Through an understanding of these structure-property relationships, materials scientists and engineers can develop new materials or adapt existing ones to meet the design and economic requirements that ultimately advance industry, technology, and society. Our world is driven by the materials that are presently available. Millions of everyday objects and machines are made better because of a new and improved material. The automobile industry has lighter, impact-resistant car bodies. Textile companies have stronger, brighter fibers. Of course, we?ve all benefited from the versatile, inexpensive polymeric materials commonly known as plastics. In fact, many of today?s industrial problems await materials solutions: electrical engineers ask for better semiconductors, and computer technology demands materials systems that store more and more information. Even parts of the human body are being replaced by specialty designed biologically compatible materials. Materials Science and Engineering faculty and students at NC State are working on these and related problems right now. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
