Engineered Materials Focus
The engineered materials focus is designed for students interested in the use, manufacturing and analysis of advanced materials. Students in the program go into a variety of fields, from aerospace, to energy and the design of devices. The program consists of courses in solid mechanics, computational analysis and materials.
Cornell is known for its work in computational mechanics and advanced materials analysis. From modeling, simulation, experimental characterization and synthesis to advance the state-of-the-art in materials design and discovery for engineering applications. Research ranges across length scales from nano to macroscopic and material classes that include metals, semiconductors, and polymers as well as biomaterials and biological tissues.
Our program has strong ties to Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS), the Cornell Center for Materials Research (CCMR) and Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility (CNF).
