The Department of Materials Science and Engineering offers two programs: (1) materials science and engineering and (2) welding engineering. One of the largest, leading materials programs in the country, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University aims to transform how materials are synthesized, developed, processed, characterized and joined. We translate this innovation into educational experiences that expose students to state-of-the-art experimental and computational techniques, delivering the required preparation and skills to be leaders in the materials industry and academia.
The department’s facilities span five campus buildings with over $30 million of advanced equipment to synthesize materials for biological, corrosive, electronic, energy and structural applications; to characterize their structure, properties and performance; and to join them using welding, frictional and other innovative methods.
