Materials science and engineering，主要研究工程学上各种材料的属性，制造，使用，包括陶瓷，金属，聚合物及其他复合材料等。材料可以说是工程上的基础要素，工程师离开了材料，就犹如巧妇难为无米之炊。因此，在设计系统时，其他工程师，如土木工程师，化学工程师，机械工程师等都要频繁的和材料工程师合作以选出最适合的材料。
基础课程通常包括数学，通信，计算机科学，自然科学（特别是物理，化学），人文科学，社会学，工程学，工程设计学等。材料工程专业通常都是小班授课（一个班大约20个学生），师生充分互动，除了课堂教学之外，还有实验室课程。学生的口头表达和写作能力非常重要。而且很多材料项目是概念性的，学生必须学会把材料三维视觉化并呈现出来。各大学的材料工程专业研究方面会不太一样，这主要取决于各大学教授导师的研究方向和专业特长。
