Welcome back for 2022-23

MSE is poised for our biggest year yet, extending on an unprecedented 11 point jump in our national program ranking last year, record research funding (>$50M in current grants), faculty and students in key leadership roles across the campus (including the University President!), major awards like our student-led NASA Big Idea Challenge team, and many others. And best of all, we are moving into the newest building on campus by January (Science One). There’s never been a better time to engage with our students, faculty, and staff.

Why Study Materials Science and Engineering?

Materials Science is present in nearly every field of engineering, and in every aspect of your modern world. The demand for newer, stronger, cheaper, lighter, more functional and more sustainable materials is inherent in all types of industries. Materials science and engineering majors develop the materials that make the technologies we use in our everyday lives better. READ MORE.

As a materials science and engineering major, you will be offered an abundance of opportunities while enrolled at UConn. However, success does not stop there. The average base salary for materials scientists in the United States is $94,062 per year, compared to the $84,332 average made by mechanical engineers. READ MORE.
