| Materials science and engineering is a
dynamic field involving the synthesis, structure,
properties and performance of materials.
Materials scientists develop new composite
materials, by combining metals, ceramics
and polymers in specific arrangements on
microscopic or nanoscopic scales. There is
an increasing demand for graduates in materials
science and engineering, with high technology
industries leading the need for graduates. |

| FIU is a prime resource in materials
science research, boasting facilities that include
the Motorola Nanofabrication Research Center, the
Center for the Study of Matter at Extreme Conditions,
and the Advanced Materials Research Institute.
Every year, graduate faculty and researchers conduct
advanced studies in areas such as metals and ceramics,
biomaterials, electronic materials, polymeric materials,
alloys, nanomaterials, plasma spray, vibration
attenuation, and advanced synthesis and processing
techniques. |
