Materials science and engineering is the basis for all engineering. Improvements in the quality of life require knowledge of the processing and properties of current materials and the design, development and application of new materials. The Materials Science and Engineering (MatSE) curriculum provides an understanding of the underlying principles of synthesis and processing of materials and of the interrelationships between structure, properties, and processing. Students learn how to create advanced materials and systems required, e.g., for flexible electronic displays and photonics that will change communications technologies, for site specific drug delivery, for self-healing materials, for enabling the transition to a hydrogen-based economy, and for more efficient photovoltaics and nuclear systems for energy production. The curriculum uses concepts from both basic physics and chemistry and provides a detailed knowledge of what makes the materials we use every day behave as they do. Students in the first two years take courses in general areas of science and engineering as well as courses introducing the concepts in MatSE. In the third year, students study the common, central issues related to MatSE. In the senior year, students focus on an area of MatSE of their greatest interest, providing them with the detailed knowledge to be immediately useful to corporations, become entrepreneurs, or to provide the underpinning knowledge for graduate study. Note: students interested in biomaterials take a specific set of courses to provide them with a background in biology and chemistry while maintaining a strong engineering focus.

To be eligible for consideration for admission, an applicant must meet certain requirements in terms of high school graduation, high school credits, and competence in English.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
The Grainger College of Engineeringat the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is leading the future of engineering across every field. We offer19 undergraduate engineering programs across a wide range of engineering fields with an emphasis on providing an interdisciplinary curriculum. Our innovative and top-ranked majors guarantee that there is a program geared toward the change you want to make in the world.
Undergraduate students apply and enroll directly into their major of choice, which fosters an immersive experience with faculty and peers in departments, builds community, and enables involvement in research and extracurriculars related specifically to academic goals.
We proudly offer several unique programs that are designed to address critical fields with growing demands for highly skilled, trained engineers, including 14 Computer Science (CS) + Xdegrees and a first-of-its-kindB.S. in Neural Engineering.
Grainger Engineering also offers an Engineering Undeclared program that allows first-year students to explore major options during their first two years of undergraduate study.
