Giving

Just as the success of our materials science and engineering graduates enhances the reputation of the department - the reputation of the department enhances the degrees of our graduates.

The department offers Master of Science, Master of Engineering and doctorate degrees and has approximately 200 graduate students currently in the program who are working on a wide range of materials-related interdisciplinary research projects. In 2018, we accepted our first cohort of undergraduate students, and by 2022 our department became ABET certified. In 2024, our undergraduate student enrollment exceeded 200 students.

As part of a state-assisted university, we are very appreciative of the funding provided by the state of Texas. However, as time goes by, that funding becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of the overall budget required to maintain the university (currently about 32%). The university and its departments rely heavily on gifts and endowments to sustain and enhance their programs.

For the Department of Materials Science and Engineering to sustain and enhance its programs, and your degree, we must compete with other universities for the best faculty and the best students. That takes resources.
