A male college student with a beard and glasses is smiling while working on a silver laptop. He is wearing a maroon polo shirt with the Texas A&M University Department of Materials Science & Engineering logo and is sitting at a table near a large window, possibly in a café or library. Another person is blurred in the background.

Explore programs that shape technology and innovation

Materials engineering is about designing and improving the very materials that make up the world. From stronger alloys to smarter polymers, our programs equip you to develop materials that drive innovation and address real-world challenges.

Four diverse, smiling college students stand side by side in front of a large, arched glass window in a brick building, possibly on a university campus. The two students on the ends are wearing maroon shirts (one is a t-shirt with a baseball graphic, the other is a polo), and jeans. The girl second from the left is wearing a tan t-shirt and a black skirt. The girl on the far right is wearing a maroon t-shirt and a white skirt. All four students are giving a thumbs-up sign.
