The curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Major in Materials Science and Engineering, consists of the “Engineering Core”—basic courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering, with electives in social sciences and humanities—plus materials courses, which also allow students to choose one of several areas of concentration within the major. A total of 129 credit hours is required. Please see the table for the recommended semester-by-semester listing of courses. The Bachelor of Science degree program in Materials Science and Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Throughout the undergraduate curriculum in materials science and engineering, scientific fundamentals are integrated with coverage of current manufacturing, design, and applications of engineering materials. The goal of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is to prepare students for rewarding careers that provide creative, effective solutions to societal needs, through coursework and associated activities that emphasize: The interrelationships among the processing, structure, properties, and performance of engineering materials The mutual reinforcement of education and professional development throughout one’s career. The undergraduate experience in Materials Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve is marked by a high degree of hands-on experience and many opportunities for professional development before graduation. Lab courses, senior projects, and plant tours ensure that every student sees the field first-hand in current research and industrial settings. Program Educational Objectives Graduates will take an active part in professional organizations. Graduates will assume leadership positions in materials science related industries. Graduates will be effectively involved in solving technical problems. Graduates may successfully enter and complete graduate and professional degree programs. Program Outcomes Graduates will understand the interrelationships among processing, structure, and properties of a wide range of engineering materials, and how these factors together control the materials performance. Graduates will be able to carry out laboratory experiments, analyze data, and interpret the significance of their results, especially with respect to the processing of engineering materials and characterization of their engineering properties. Graduates will be proficient in the oral, written, and electronic communication of their ideas. Graduates will be proficient in the use of computer technology and computer-based information systems. Graduates will be able to function effectively in groups of peers and independently. Graduates will be informed of the impact of engineering on society and of the professional, ethical, safety, and environmental responsibilities that that entails. Graduates will regard professional development and education as processes that should continue hand-in-hand throughout their academic and professional careers. Concentrations Students may select an area of concentration that is based on an application or subfield of engineering materials. Each concentration will be a coherent set of courses that, in conjunction with one or more of the courses already required for all EMSE majors plus a specified mathematics/natural science/statistics course, will provide significant depth in an area of materials specialization. Students also have the option of designing a concentration — Advanced Materials Science and Engineering.

Although its origins date to 1826, the University in its present form is the result of the 1967 federation of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University. The two institutions had shared adjacent campuses since the late nineteenth century, and were involved in cooperative efforts for many years. Today, Case Western Reserve's enrollment and resources, distributed among undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs that encompass the arts and sciences, dental medicine, engineering, law, management, medicine, nursing, and social work, achieve a balance that is distinctive among American universities. Case Western Reserve University is located in University Circle, a 550-acre, park-like concentration of approximately 50 cultural, medical, educational, religious, and social service institutions located at the eastern edge of the city center. University Circle attracts visitors from throughout the region and the world to its concerts, theater performances, athletic events, art shows, public lectures, exhibits, and restaurants. Housing, shopping, and recreational facilities are all located in the area.
