The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE) at CWRU focuses on metals, ceramics, electronic materials, and composites. There are 12 full-time faculty members, 25 undergraduates, and 30 graduate students. With typical class sizes of 10-15
students, there is ample opportunity for student-faculty interaction...
Materials science and engineering is a discipline that extends
from the basic science of materials structure and properties
to the design and evaluation of materials in engineering systems.
Most engineers--mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical--work
with materials on the job, and many become well acquainted with
the properties of the materials they use most often. The role
of a materials engineer is to understand why materials behave
as they do under various conditions; to recognize the limits
of performance that particular materials can attain; and to
know what can be done during the manufacture of materials to
meet the demands of a given application...
