of course work can satisfy them.
Graduate Programs in
Materials Science and
Engineering
Master of Science Degree
Candidates for the Master of Science
degree in Materials Science and
Engineering will follow a program of
study formulated in consultation with
and approved by a faculty adviser.
Thirty points of credit are required at a
minimum.
The following 5 courses (18 points)
are required for the degree:
12 points:
MSAE E4101: Structural analysis of materials
MSAE E4206: Electronic and magnetic properties
of solids
MSAE E4202: Thermodynamics and reactions
in solids
MSAE E4215: Mechanical behavior of structural
materials
6 points:
MSAE E6273: Materials science reports
If a candidate has already taken one
or more of these courses at Columbia
University, substitutions from the Type I
Elective list may be approved.
The remaining 12 points will be
chosen from elective courses, 6 points
of which must be Type I and 6 points of
which may be Type I or Type II:
• Type I Electives:
MSAE E4090: Nanotechnology
MSAE E4132: Fundamentals of polymers and
ceramics
MSAE E4207: Lattice vibrations and crystal
defects
MSAE E4250: Ceramics and composites
MSAE E4990: Special topics in materials science
and engineering
MSAE E6091: Magnetism and magnetic materials
MSAE E6225: Techniques in X-ray and neutron
diffraction
MSAE E6229: Energy and particle beam
processing of materials
MSAE E6230: Kineticsof phase transformations
MSAE E6251: Thin films and layers
MSAE E8235: Selected topics in materials science
