UIUC 재료과학및 재료공학과

일리노이 주립대학 어버나 샴페인 캠퍼스(UIUC)의 재료과학 및 공학 과는 무기재료과와 금속재료과가 합병하여 만들어 졌다.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MatSE) was established in 1987 with the merger of the Departments of Ceramic Engineering and Metallurgy & Mining Engineering. Although a relatively young department, MatSE actually was built on a tradition of excellence that dates back to the founding of the University of Illinois in 1867, when the university was required to have a mining program as part of its mission as a land-grant institution.

The Mining Engineering Department later included metallurgy and petroleum engineering, and in 1940 the Department of Metallurgy & Mining Engineering was established. The undergraduate curriculum in mining engineering was phased out in the late 1960s. The Department of Ceramic Engineering was established in 1905.

MatSE is organized into five areas of concentration?biomaterials, ceramics, electronic materials, metals, and polymers. Students take common core courses, then specialize in one area according to their research interests. The department is one of the largest in the nation, with ~30 full-time faculty and over 300 undergraduate and graduate students. MatSE at Illinois has earned a reputation as one of the top three materials programs in the nation.
