The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at the University of Texas at Arlington (UT Arlington) is one of the leading research and education institutions in the nation.

We have major research activities in several focus areas in materials science and engineering including anomaterials, bio materials, energy systems, advanced structural materials, and electronic materials.

Our state-of-the-art research facilities, excellent faculty and support staff, combined with generous external funding, allows advanced studies in these critical materials research areas of national priority. Our program has a tradition of excellence in education and training. It is exciting for our faculty to help students to progress through the selective admissions procedure, the rigors of modern courses, the presentations of oral seminars and proposals, the challenging work of independent thesis research, and the writing of dissertations and publications.

It is a rewarding experience to observe the dedicated student grow from a probing beginner to a creative scientist and engineer who is able to make significant contributions to the knowledge of his/her field. It has been satisfying to see graduates excel in subsequent industrial, postdoctoral, governmental, or academic positions. Our program provides the intellectual atmosphere and all the help necessary for every aspect of that growth.

UTA, the second largest component of the University of Texas System, is located in the center of the economically and culturally vibrant Dallas-Fort Worth "Metroplex" and looks confidently into the future. We at UT Arlington have the oldest, largest, and most diversified MSE program in North Texas.  We invite you to visit us and meet with the faculty, or call any of us with your inquiries.
