紐約州立大學賓厄姆頓分校

Binghamton University offers graduate programs in Materials Science and Engineering leading to a master’s of science degree or a doctor of philosophy degree. Based on student interests, programs may emphasize either engineering or science.

Ranked in the top third nationally along with UCLA by Academics Analytics, Binghamton’s Materials Science and Engineering program is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together faculty from departments including chemistry, geological sciences and environmental studies, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering. Students may conduct research with faculty in any of these departments.

Students develop a solid foundation of knowledge in the principles of materials science, through either an atomic/nano or a bulk/macro approach. Students choose a specialization in one of the following areas:

• Energy production
• Storage and transmission
• Nanomaterials
• Electronic materials
• Biomaterials
• Modeling and mechanical behavior

Add-on certificates and accelerated tracks such as BS + MS programs in chemistry or physics are also available. Funding is offered in the form of stipends awarded through teaching or research assistantships.

Professional Development

Students have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities to pursue a diverse range of materials and topics within the program. Various research facilities on campus include the Institute for Materials Research, Integrated Electronics Engineering Center and Center for Autonomous Solar Power, as well as research facilities within the departments of Geological Sciences and Mechanical Engineering. Watson Career and Alumni Connections offer professional advice and services such as interview guidance, cover letter critiques and networking opportunities.

After You Graduate

Graduates of the program have pursued postdoctoral work at universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Columbia University, and California Institute of Technology. Alumni have also obtained positions in industry with companies such as Microsoft, Toyota, Universal Instruments, Intel, Global Foundries and LG Electronics.
