    5.- Sub-Specialization

    Possible areas of sub-specialization for an undesignated degree or to complement a research area or to achieve a broader materials background may involve Business Management, Operations Research, Structural Mechanics, Electronic Device Design and Development, Experimental Design, Manufacturing Engineering emphasizing advanced manufacturing and Materials Processes, Waste Materials Management, and the like. Some examples of other engineering courses which might contribute to developing these areas include the following:

    Mechanical/Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering

    IE/MECH 3551Linear & Combinatorial Optimization Methods
    IE 3552 Design & Analysis of Industrial Experiments
    IE 3559 Computer-Aided Manufacturing
    IE 3562 Graphical Elements of Computer-Aided Design & Manufacturing
    MECH/IE/MFG 3590 Special Topics in Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering

    Civil Engineering

    CE 3505 Advanced Structural Analysis
    CE 3512 Environmental Processes
    CE 3517 Similitude & Statistical Methods

    Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

    CS 3510 Computer Graphics
    EE 3511 Semiconductor Devices
    EE 3512 Advanced Optoelectronic Devices

    Students from other science or engineering disciplines may wish to develop a sub-specialization in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering or Materials Engineering. In general, a sub-specialization could be developed by considering the core program:

    MME 4501 Microstructural and Microchemical Characterization of Materials
    MME 3502 Materials Extraction, Synthesis, & Processing
    MME 4503 Advanced Concepts in Materials Science & Engineering
    MME 3504 Phase Transformations & Microstructures

    Other specialized areas could be developed by other groupings of courses or areas represented by course groupings. The first three core courses shown above from the MS program are also articulated with the PhD program core in materials science and engineering. Students completing the MS degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering and pursuing the PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering may waive MASE 4602, 4600, and 3502, substituting work as recommended by the Graduate Advisor.
