Materials Science and Engineering

The Texas Materials Institute (TMI) serves as a virtual Materials Science and Engineering department by coordinating the undergraduate minor and the graduate program (MS and Ph.D. degrees) in Materials Science and Engineering.

In addition, TMI provides the advanced instrumentation necessary to conduct modern materials research, and promotes interdisciplinary research in materials science and engineering.

The minor in Materials Science and Engineering is available to students who want to enhance their options by combining knowledge of their major with knowledge about materials, improve their marketability to employers, or are considering graduate school in a materials-related field.
