Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan
Engineering at Purdue
~ 8500 students (6200 undergraduates / 2300 graduates)
~ 320 Professors
~ 2000 students start Engineering each year
Common first-year program in
School of Engineering Education*
before starting specific discipline (IE, ME, etc) in
year 2, 3 and 4)
*first in the world department of Engineering Education
School of Materials Engineering
School of Metallurgical Engineering, 1959
School of Materials Engineering, 1973
Currently:
135 BS students
75 MS and PhD students
20 Professors
Aerospace Engineering

Engineering Education
Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering (2007)
School of Materials Engineering
With 200 students and 20 professors, Materials is one of
smallest Engineering disciplines at Purdue
Materials discipline is small fraction
of all Engineering
Worldwide ~2% of engineers have
Materials degree.
Small field, but important because
“everything is made of materials”

Too fast?
Too slow?

Different Types of MSE Programs
Emphasize one class of Material, like Metals or Ceramics
Emphasize Science (fundamental) or Engineering (applied)
Trends:
1. Combine with larger fields:
Mechanical and Materials
Chemical and Materials
2. General MSE = all classes of Materials
Purdue MSE Program
General MSE (Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, Composites)
> Bachelor degree (4 years)
Students join in Year 2, after First-Year Engineering
Special emphasis on materials processing
Large amount of MSE laboratory classes
- measure properties and microstructure
- conduct processing (casting, forming, etc.)
Design projects sponsored by Industry
