## Materials Science and Engineering Students

Students enrolled in the MSE department can pursue minors in any of the following areas within MSE:

- [Additive Manufacturing](http://coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu/schools-colleges/collegeofengineering/undergraduatedesignatedminors/#additivemanufacturingtextcontainer) - Learn more about the engineering science that applies to additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing), from part design through additive processes, to properties and component performance.

- [Electronic Materials](http://coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu/schools-colleges/collegeofengineering/undergraduatedesignatedminors/#electronicmaterialstext) - Advances in electronic materials, such as semiconductors, dielectrics and magnetics, are crucial in the progress towards more energy-efficient technologies. Students will learn about the physics, chemistry, synthesis, processing, design, characterization, and applications of a variety of electronic materials and devices.

- [Mechanical Behavior of Materials](http://coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu/schools-colleges/collegeofengineering/undergraduatedesignatedminors/#mechanicalbehaviorofmaterialstext) - This minor will provide students with an understanding of how mechanical behavior plays a role in both the development of new materials and the selection of appropriate materials for existing applications.

In addition to these minors, MSE students are welcome to [explore minors and majors within the College of Engineering](https://engineering.cmu.edu/education/undergraduate-studies/curriculum/programs/index.html), and beyond.

## College of Engineering Students

Students enrolled in other programs in the College of Engineering are also welcome to pursue the minors mentioned above, or a double major or [minor in Materials Science and Engineering.](http://coursecatalog.web.cmu.edu/schools-colleges/collegeofengineering/undergraduatedesignatedminors/#materialsscienceandengineeringtext)
