Academics

Interdisciplinary Excellence Built On World-Class Knowledge

This section is about the two Bachelor of Science degree programs in MME.

  • Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering (BSMSE)
  • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME)

For information on post graduate degree programs view the "Graduate Studies" section.

Both the BSMSE and BSME degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET Inc., 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700. On our ABET site you may read about our program evaluation and accreditation process.

The School has professors on both the Pullman and Tri-cities campuses providing students with both academic and career advising. The majority of courses are taught by the resident faculty. Adjunct and visiting faculty are also utilized to enhance the educational opportunities for the students. Student contact with the faculty outside of scheduled course times is strongly encouraged.

Bio-Medical Materials Research Laborator
W. M. Keck Bio-Medical Materials Research Laboratory

Objectives: To establish a Bio-medical Materials Research Laboratory (BMRL) to focus on revolutionary approaches to design and manufacture of structures for skeletal disorders and implants.

Uniqueness & Innovation: Direct Laser processing and induction plasma spray processing facilities are being developed for fabrication of nanoscale powders to coatings to bulk structures of metallic and ceramic materials for biomedical applications. Innovation stems from design and fabrication of novel materials for a variety of applications with special emphasis on biomedical needs.

Principal Investigators: Amit Bandyopadhyay, Susmita Bose, Howard Hosick

Partners: WSU School of Biological Sciences Professor, Howard Hosick

Funding Agency: W. M. Keck Foundation
