Master of Science in Materials Science Engineering
(MSMSE)
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering
The Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering provides advanced coursework and research that
blends basic materials science with fundamental engineering principles and practice. Closely tied to industry
needs and applications, the program supports research in nanomaterials, semiconductor materials, biomaterials,
composites, metallurgy, welding, micro-joining, manufacturing, computational modeling, and materials synthesis,
post-treatment, and characterization. The flexibility of the program structure encourages students to explore
research in conventional disciplines as well as those in inter- or multi-disciplines. The program features research
thrusts spanning a wide range of cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary areas.

Satisfactory Academic Progress and Dismissal Policy
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP)
• All admitted graduate students must enroll and complete at least one credit per
term*. Students who wish to take time away from their studies must complete a
Graduate Leave of Absence Request and adhere to the Leave of Absence Policy
outlined by the Graduate School (GS).
• A student’s Permanent Advisor will determine if satisfactory progress has been made
each term*, especially in regards to dissertation, project or thesis credits and
research. If the student is within their first two terms and a Permanent Advisor has
not been established, satisfactory progress will be determined by term GPA and
credits completed. Students without Permanent Advisors must earn a B- or higher in
each course and a term GPA of 3.0.
• In addition, conditionally admitted students must complete all conditions within one
year of admission as outlined in the admission letter; and
• PhD students must meet the program’s comprehensive exam timeline and criteria as
well as the University’s prospectus and dissertation timelines.
Probation
• An admitted graduate student will be placed on SAP probation if:
o the student does not register for at least one credit and does not have an
approved Graduate Leave of Absence Request for the term;
o if the student receives a grade of I, X, W or AU for all credits attempted; or
o the Permanent Advisor determines that satisfactory progress has not been
made, or, for a student without a Permanent Advisor, term grades and GPA
do not meet SAP guidelines.
• A student who is placed on SAP probation will be ineligible to hold a GA (TA or RA) or
hourly position.
• A student will be removed from SAP probation if the student:
o registers and completes at least one credit in the term after beginning
probation status; and
o the Permanent Advisor determines that satisfactory progress has been made
in the term after beginning probation status. A student who does not have a
Permanent Advisor must meet the grade and GPA requirement in the term
after beginning probation status.
