Materials Science and Engineering

 

 

The Materials Science Department is committing the 2022 comet giving day proceeds to the “MSE Founders Fellowship”.  This fellowship will honor our founders: Profs. Bruce E. Gnade, Moon Kim and Robert M. Wallace, and will be used to support new outstanding MSE graduate students that share and foster the culture of academic excellence and community engagement.  This mission is only possible by contributions from faculty, staff, students, alumni, industry partners, and friends.

The history of MSE at UTD started in 2003 with the cluster hire of our founders (Gnade/Kim/Wallace) within the Electrical Engineering department. This cluster hire further strengthened the Chemistry, Physics and Materials Science areas of the Eric Jonsson School of Engineering and was crucial to develop a vibrant research program in Micro and nano-electronics. Their goal was to establish a Materials Science Department. This was achieved in only 5 years.

Since the inception of our department in 2008, we have seen our University double in size while becoming a “Tier One” University. MSE has been key to that success.  The research areas, faculty and culture of our department continues to evolve and adapt to a constantly changing world. The vision of our founders of producing engaged graduates, prepared for life, work, and leadership will never change. Please join us to establish the “MSE Founders Fellowship” to continue their vision and legacy.
