Materials Science & Engineering

• ENG MS 726: Fundamentals of Biomaterials
  Undergraduate Prerequisites: (ENGEK301 & ENGEK424 & CASCH101 & CASCH102 & ENGBE209) - Provides the chemistry and engineering skills needed to solve challenges in the biomaterials and tissue engineering area, concentrating on the fundamental principles in biomedical engineering, material science, and chemistry. Covers the structure and properties of hard materials (ceramics and metals) and soft materials (polymers and hydro-gels). Same as ENG BE 526, ENG BE 726, ME 726. Students may not receive credit for both.
• ENG MS 810: PhD Internship in Material Science & Engineering
  Graduate Prerequisites: Permission of advisor and an approved internship offer; at least two c omplete semesters in the SE PhD program. - This course provides MSE PhD students the opportunity to include a paid internship as part of their professional training. The internship must be related to the student's are of study. International students require CPT authorization. Written summary required. Graded P/F. Prerequisite: Permission of advisor and an approved internship offer; at least two complete semesters in the MSE PhD program.
