B.S.-Materials Engineering Technical Electives
Emphases Areas in Materials Engineering
Materials Engineering students may concentrate their electives in one area of interest to develop an emphasis in that area. These courses typically come from the Materials Engineering program and other programs at SJSU. The following lists of courses are those which are available in three primary emphases areas. These lists are extensive because most of these courses are electives and are not available in every semester. Other emphasis programs may also be developed in consultation with the Materials Engineering advisor.
Area 1: Semiconductor Technology
- MATE 129-Introduction to Integrated Circuits Processing and Design 3 unit(s)
- MATE 189-Microelectromechanical Systems and Microfluidics 3 unit(s)
- MATE 165-Photovoltaic Fabrication Modeling and Testing 3 unit(s)
- MATE 270-Methods of Thin Film Deposition 3 unit(s)
Area 2: Computational Materials
- MATE 150-Introduction to Computational Materials Engineering 3 unit(s) OR MATE 250-Advanced Computational Materials Engineering 3 unit(s)
- MATE 244-Introduction to Materials Informatics and Data Sciences 3 unit(s)
Area 3: Materials for Sustainability
Area 4: Materials for Emerging Applications
- MATE 175-Biomaterials 3 unit(s)
- MATE 135-Introduction to Composite Materials 3 unit(s)
Students should be aware that the listed courses may require prerequisites that are not in the standard Materials Engineering program and it may be necessary for students to obtain instructor approval, to enroll. Instructor approval should be obtained prior to enrolling without the normal prerequisites. Note these course lists change frequently and you should check with your advisor to confirm the latest version.
