Materials Engineering Undergraduate Certificate
This program is a 15-credit certificate available to Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering students in the College of Engineering. Other Engineering students also may enroll in the certificate program if they have the proper background, have taken prerequisite courses, or have instructors' permission.
Only two courses can fulfill the requirements of both a certificate and major credentials. Additional courses must be taken beyond the requirements of the major.
