"description": "<p><strong>What is Materials Science and Engineering?</strong></p>\r\n<p>Everything is made of materials, from computer chips to car batteries. As a materials scientist or engineer, you can create new materials or alter existing ones to improve anything from electronic sensors to semiconductors. Materials science incorporates multiple disciplines, including metallurgy, physics, biology, chemistry, mechanical engineering, and biomedical engineering. UCF researchers in this field have contributed to scientific advances as diverse as medicine and space exploration.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Develop Your Career</strong></p>\r\n<p>Prepare for a dynamic career with a Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering from the UCF Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The curriculum provides fundamental knowledge of organic chemistry, electrical engineering, structures and behaviors of materials, materials processing, transport phenomena, and much more. This program also offers an accelerated B.S. to M.S. track, which allows you to earn a graduate degree simultaneously.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Gain Experience in Research</strong></p>\r\n<p>As an undergraduate student at UCF, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in research, from projects in our faculty laboratories to Student Research Week events. You can also make connections with peers, alumni, and industry partners through organizations such as the American Chemical Society, American Vacuum Society, and the Materials Research Society.</p>\r\n<p><strong>Where Do Graduates Work?</strong></p>\r\n<p>With a Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering from UCF, you can prepare to work for a variety of engineering organizations including NASA, Siemens, and General Electric. Our graduates work for these organizations and more, including Kismet Technologies, the NASA Glenn Research Center, Orthomerica Products, and Soarce. Our undergraduate degree also prepares you for graduate studies in materials science and engineering.</p>",

"description": "<p>The field of materials science and engineering centralizes multiple disciplines: materials science, metallurgy, physics, biology, chemistry, electrical, biomedical and mechanical engineering. Materials science engineers are involved with creating new materials or altering known materials to improve anything engineered, from computer chips to structural materials, medicine to electronic sensors, environmental and sustainable materials and so much more from manufacturing to commercialization. For example, they make materials (hard and soft matter) more durable, stronger, lighter, efficient, adaptable or productive; and they discover new and innovative ways to use materials. UCF researchers in this field have contributed to scientific advances as diverse as medicine and space exploration.</p><h2>CECS Progress Policy</h2><ul> <li>Students in the Materials Science & Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major, minor, or certificate in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). To support this, CECS and COP enforce a Progress Policy with two components: the low grade component and the repeat attempt component. <ul> <li><strong>Low Grade Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Materials Science & Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below \"C\" (2.0), U grades, and withdrawals, including in 0-credit courses) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> <li><strong>Repeat Attempt Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Materials Science & Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of \"C\" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors cannot declare any CECS or COP minors or certificates unless as required by the student’s degree program. A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major. Any student who is readmitted to the Materials Science & Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification.
