A research student in a white lab coat and safety goggles is working in a lab. He has a dark beard and is wearing blue nitrile gloves. He is using a micropipette to transfer a liquid into a small clear beaker on a stainless steel countertop, surrounded by several bottles and beakers of chemicals and solutions. The background shows lab shelving and ceiling lights.

Discover your potential through undergraduate research opportunities

Shape the future of energy, medicine, and technology by working alongside faculty on real research projects. Gain hands-on experience that sets you apart and makes an impact now.

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.

Build community through student organizations in MSEN

Build community, grow as a leader, and make the most of your time at Texas A&M by joining a materials science and engineering student organization. These groups open doors to mentorship, service, and opportunities that go beyond the classroom.
