Overview

The Engineering (Materials Engineering Emphasis) program at Cal Poly Pomona University has a strong curriculum in materials engineering along with cutting-edge elective topics. One of the unique aspects of this program will be the strong emphasis on applied research.

Key Features

A distinctive aspect of the MSE-MTE program is that students will pursue the thesis option that requires a year or more of study in a specific topic decided in consultation with faculty and defended through a proposal review. Another distinctive feature of the program is its applied nature. This is reinforced by the full-time and part-time faculty who are carefully selected for their expertise in specific areas of study. This ensures that the teaching and curriculum are relevant to current industry practices and needs. This further prepares the students to immediately contribute to their employer’s technical and programmatic needs upon completion of their Master’s program.
