Overview of the Graduate Program http://www.clemson.edu/mse/Academics/Graduate/graduate.htm

Master of Science Doctor of Philosophy The School of Materials Science and Engineering offers a MS and PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, with two specializations: Metals/Ceramics, and Polymer and Fiber Sciences. Materials science and engineering is concerned with the production, properties and microstructure of the solid materials that are often the primary limitation to the advancement of modern technology. Emphasis is placed on applying the fundamental principles that govern the structure of the solid state to produce optimum mechanical, electrical, optical and other physical properties. The curriculum provides for specialization in metallurgy, glasses and ceramics, and polymeric materials, including electronic materials, biomaterials, polymer and fiber science, textile science, polymer and textile chemistry, and fiber and composite materials.

The Materials Science and Engineering program prepares graduate students to apply science and engineering principles to solve problems related to the scientific understanding, characterization and development of new technology necessary for the processing and manufacturing of different materials and related products.

Overview of the Undergraduate program: http://www.clemson.edu/mse/Academics/Undergrad/undergraduate.htm

Bachelor of Science

The School of Materials Science and Engineering offers an undergraduate degree in Materials Science and Engineering, with two concentrations: Inorganic Materials, and Polymeric Materials.

Materials engineers design, develop, and participate in the manufacture of both standard and new materials intended for use in a wide variety of industries with diverse applications. These range from the traditional materials industries such as structural clay, foundry, or whiteware industries to the newer industries such as the semiconductor or aerospace industries. The broad career responsibilities of this discipline require competence in science, engineering, mathematics, and the social sciences. The curriculum develops skills in problem solving, engineering analysis, and design as well as oral and written communication. The baccalaureate program integrates laboratory with classroom experiences to prepare students for life-long learning. Courses covering thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanical behavior, processing, and characterization of materials prepare students for careers in industry and/or for graduate school.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Materials Science and Engineering is based on a foundation in physical and mathematical sciences. From this base, students are taught, using classroom instruction, laboratory courses, and individual research, to apply their scientific knowledge to the solution of problems in polymeric and fiber-based materials for diverse applications ranging from biomedical and sports to construction and communication. The degree also prepares students for graduate studies in a number of science and engineering disciplines. Graduates hold jobs in corporate and personnel management, manufacturing management, design, research, development, technical service, quality control, and sales. They create new products and processes and solve problems. They create styles, patterns, textures, and colors for apparel, home, industry, and special applications. Their jobs utilize computers, automation, and product quality and are concerned with plant design, environmental control, and consumer safety.

The link between academics and industry grows stronger every day.

See Appendix 3 for Centers, Alliances, and Affiliated Institutes in the College of Engineering and Science.

Clemson University Emphasis Areas http://www.clemson.edu/administration/provost/emphasisareas.bbsea.html

Instead of assigning all of the financial resources to departments and colleges, Clemson instead focuses on programmatic areas that provide interdisciplinary research and service venues, unique platforms for enhanced scholarship, and more opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. Clemson University has identified eight emphasis areas, which are the foundation for the Academic Plan. The College of Engineering and Sciences has a stake in five of these emphasis areas.

Advanced Materials *

Automotive and Transportation Technology *

Biotechnology and Biomedical Sciences *

General Education

Family and Community Living

Information and Communication Technology

Leadership and Entrepreneurship

Sustainable Environment

*Several collections have been purchased to particularly support these Emphasis areas: Historical files in Engineering Village, and the Referex collection of e-books (Elsevier) for Advanced Materials; POLYMERSnetBASE (CRC Press) for Advanced Materials; additional technical reports in the SAE Digital Library for Automotive Engineering; Rosetta Stone language learning for Automotive Engineering.

See Appendix 4 for a list of faculty research interests

graduate students pursuing either the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree in Materials Science and Engineering

undergraduates majoring in Materials Science and Engineering (Bachelor of Science) Materials Science and Engineering faculty

(http://www.clemson.edu/mse/People/Faculty.htm)

Clemson University Centers and Institutes - these in particular: o National Brick Research Center o Center for Advanced Engineering Fibers and Films (CAEFF) o Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET) o Center for Advanced Materials for Thermoelectric Engergy Conversion

(CAMTEC) o Laboratory for Emerging Materials o Clemson Apparel Research o Clemson Institute for Biomedical Science and Engineering

Secondary Users: Students and faculty of departments whose subjects overlap with the interests of Materials

Science and Engineering, including Bioengineering, Chemistry, and Chemical Engineering

2. General Collection Guidelines: Scope of the Collection - Materials will be selected in electronic formats when available

Reference Books, including handbooks, dictionaries, and encyclopedias (for example

Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology). Monographs – print and electronic – will be selected to support the research and

coursework of undergraduate and graduate students as well as the research and teaching needs of the faculty. E-book packages from Knovel and Springer are especially valued.

During budget crisis times (such as now) books will be chosen very selectively, primarily in response to requests from faculty and students. A formal analysis of the monographs collection will begin in Spring 2011.

Industry standards play an important role in the research process. Therefore, we will maintain a subscription to ASTM standards, and bibliographic access to additional standards through ANSI. Standards will be purchased on an as-needed basis, with a budget of $5,000. per year.

Journals /serials / periodicals will be selected to support undergraduate research and coursework, and to support graduate and faculty research. General interest titles and trade publications generally are included in Aggregators (databases such as Academic Search Premier, Lexis / Nexis, and General Business file, so will not be purchased individually.

See Appendix 5 for a list of Important Journals in Bioengineering.

Languages Unless specifically requested by a faculty member, all material will be written in English. Date of Publication Most materials purchased will have been published within the preceding two years. Older works will be purchased at the request of a faculty member, to replace heavily-used volumes that have been lost, or for which demand has been shown through Interlibrary Loan borrowing.

Geographical Guidelines I recognize the global nature of research, and the importance of representing a wide variety of points of view and international perspectives. However, due to serious budget constraints, materials originating/published in the United States will be the primary focus.

Format Wherever possible, reference works, indexes, and journals will be purchased in electronic format and made available from the Libraries' Web site for access by students and faculty, on and off campus. Print materials will also be selected. Micro formats will be purchased if it is the only format available.

Appropriate materials (such as interactive anatomy publications) will be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD, when requested by a faculty member.

3. Access to Information Not Available at Clemson
