Universities
Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo
Department of Materials Engineering
While Cal-Poly is one of the largest accredited materials engineering programs in the United States, it has the feel of a small private college. With a student-to-faculty ratio of ~20:1, our 128 students are known by name and learn side-by-side with our faculty in the laboratory. Our students often praise the family atmosphere, the camaraderie among their MatE majors and the caring faculty.

San Jose State University
Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering

Graduates of our department find jobs in Silicon Valley and beyond, working as process engineers, failure analysis engineers, manufacturing  engineers, plant engineers, as well as in research and development. Our graduates can be found in all kinds of industrial sectors, including semiconductors and microelectronics, biotech and pharmaceuticals, environmental remediation, health and safety as well as in traditional industries such as petroleum processing and metallurgy.  Many of our students go onto graduate schools all over the country.

We offer Bachelors Degrees in Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering, and General Engineering Concentrations in Microelectronics Process Engineering  and Environmental Health and Safety Engineering. We offer Masters Degrees in Chemical Engineering  and Materials Engineering, and often advise students in the Master of Science in Engineering program.  We also offer a Minor in Materials Engineering.

University of California, Davis
Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science
The materials science program at U. C. Davis offers bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees in materials science and engineering.  Double-majors in chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering are also available.  The undergraduate program focuses on the fundamentals (education for a lifetime) with an emphasis in the senior year on design and solving real-world materials problems.  The graduate program offers one the opportunity to work in the areas of creep and superplasticity of metals and ceramics; fracture and fatigue in alloys, composites and bone; plasma-activated sintering, fuel cells, advanced techniques in electron microscopy (HR-TEM, EELS) and more.

University of Nevada, Reno
Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

UNR offers the B.S. degree in Materials Science and Engineering, and has an option in Extractive Metallurgy. We also offer M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Metallurgical Engineering. Our internationally recognized faculty are leaders in education, research, and national organizations. All are committed to our undergraduate students and program. Our courses are taught by the faculty, not by teaching assistants, and course sections are small. You will get to know the faculty and your fellow engineering students in a small group atmosphere, and develop professional relationships that could last a lifetime.
