Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering

Lehigh University

Lehigh’s undergraduate major and minor in materials science and engineering offers a fundamental core of courses on the different material classes while also allowing students to choose areas of specialization, such as nanotechnology. Students work closely with award-winning professors who are at the top of their fields in a program that provides a balance of theoretical and practical knowledge.Students in the program are provided with hands-on laboratory experiences, research opportunities and summer internships. Students have taken part in projects at government laboratories, in industry or at other universities, both in the United States and abroad. Students are also able to pursue a senior project in close collaboration with a faculty member. Projects are interdisciplinary and vary from stainless steel welding to microelectronic packaging. Lehigh’s microscopy facility-the most advanced university-based center of its kind in the United States-plays a major role in the materials science curriculum.
