The mission of the NJIT Materials Science and
Engineering program is to provide graduate education and research
opportunities for students and professionals in the theoretical,
experimental, and analytical foundations of materials science and in the
engineering use, modification, and application to the structures
and products of the technological age. Graduates will be prepared
for new or enhanced positions in industry, government, and the academy.
Materials science and engineering is an interdisciplinary activity
that applies the principles of basic sciences and engineering to
understanding the behavior of materials, as well as development and
applications. Students are exposed
to an interdisciplinary approach to research and education.
