Engineering Electives: Students must complete a minimum of 19 units from: BME50A, BME110A-B, BME111, BME120, CBEMS110, CBEMS130, CBEMS154, CBEMS157, CBEMS158, CBEMS159, CBEMS162, CBEMS163, CBEMS164, CBEMS166, CBEMS167, CBEMS172, CBEMS173, CBEMS174, CBEMS91, CBEMS199 or CBEMSH199, EECS70B, EECS170LA, EECS170B, EECS174, EECS175, EECS176, EECS180, MAE106, MAE145, MAE 147, MAE151, MAE 152, MAE157, or MAE170. Students select, with the approval of a faculty advisor, any additional engineering topics courses needed to satisfy school and department requirements.

Engineering and Professional Topics: ENGR190W

(The nominal Materials Science Engineering program will require 187 units of courses to satisfy all university and major requirements. Because each student comes to UCI with a different level of preparation, the actual number of units will vary.)

Program of Study

The sample program of study chart shown is typical for the major in Materials Science Engineering. Students should keep in mind that this program is based upon a sequence of prerequisites, beginning with adequate preparation in high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Students who are not adequately prepared, or who wish to make changes in the sequence for other reasons, must have their program approved by their faculty advisor. Materials Science Engineering majors must consult at least once every year with the academic counselors in the Student Affairs Office and with their faculty advisors.
