Engineering at Purdue ~ 8500 students (6200 undergraduates / 2300 graduates)

~ 320 Professors

~ 2000 students start Engineering each year

Common first-year program in

School of Engineering Education*

before starting specific discipline (IE, ME, etc) in

year 2, 3 and 4)

*first in the world department of Engineering Education

School of Materials EngineeringSchool of Metallurgical Engineering, 1959

Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering (2007)

School of Materials EngineeringWith 200 students and 20 professors, Materials is one of

smallest Engineering disciplines at Purdue

Materials discipline is small fraction

of all Engineering

Worldwide ~2% of engineers have

Materials degree.

Small field, but important because

“everything is made of materials”

Too fast?

Too slow?

Different Types of MSE Programs

Emphasize one class of Material, like Metals or Ceramics

Emphasize Science (fundamental) or Engineering (applied)

Trends:

1. Combine with larger fields: Mechanical and Materials

Chemical and Materials

2. General MSE = all classes of Materials

Purdue MSE Program

General MSE (Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, Composites) > Bachelor degree (4 years)

Students join in Year 2, after First-Year Engineering

Special emphasis on materials processing

Large amount of MSE laboratory classes

- measure properties and microstructure

- conduct processing (casting, forming, etc.)

Design projects sponsored by Industry
