| Materials science and engineering focuses on advancing the technology of the materials used in nearly every product from cell phones to medical devices. Material scientists and engineers explore the nature, structure, performance and possible applications of various materials. They also combine chemistry, physics and engineering skills to create new materials and attempt to find new ways to use existing materials. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
You are eligible to apply to the program if you have earned a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering or physical science.
