Program Overview
DMSE offers a new and significantly restructured 12-month
program leading to the degree of Master of Engineering (M.Eng.).
This program provides students with the background they need
to become leaders in technology-based enterprises, especially
those connected to advanced materials. The program begins
with graduate-level classes surveying the fundamentals of
materials science and engineering with a focus on applying
these fundamentals to real engineering problems and systems.
This foundation is followed by subjects that build expertise
in specific areas selected by the student and his or her advisor.
Students are also encouraged to explore areas of interest
outside the materials field, studying entrepreneurship, for
example. The program’s capstone experience involves student
participation in engineering projects and technology assessment
under the supervision of departmental faculty, either on campus
or at an industrial site.
This program now starts in the Fall Term, and is completed
at the end of the folllowing summer.
Sample Programs of Study
Working with colleagues and faculty supervisors, students
can design programs of study that focus on a wide variety
of areas, from traditional areas of departmental strength
focused on metals, ceramics, polymers and electronic materials,
to new and emerging technologies enabled by breakthroughs
in materials engineering. Sample programs include:
Curricula can be designed in a wide variety of other areas,
including: Polymeric Materials, Ceramic Materials, Metallurgy,
Materials Engineering Systems, and Materials and the Environment.
This degree program is designed for people who:
- Have a bachelor degree in an engineering or science field
and wish a professional degree that will enable you to enter
industry at an advanced level.
- Are now in industry, in a position where an advanced,
up-to-date, understanding of the engineering aspects of
materials would benefit you and your company.
- Are interested in building on an intensive graduate level
education in materials science and engineering for careers
that are not focused on research, but are focused on activities
such as management, entrepreneurship, or technology assessment.

Funding and Fellowhip Opportunities
Singapore-MIT Alliance Graduate Fellowships
The Department participates in an education and research
collaboration with the National University of Singapore and
the Nanyang Technological University. Participants in this
program earn a Master's of Engineering degree in Materials
Science and Engineering from MIT and either a Master's or
a Ph.D. degree from the National University of Singapore in
Advanced Materials for Micro- and Nano-Systems. Fellowship
recipients receive full tuition, stipend and travel support.
To learn more about the SMA collaboration, please see the
Singapore-MIT Alliance website;
further fellowship and application information
is also available.
