Program
Description:
Materials engineering deals with the development, characterization,
and specification of materials that are used in civil engineering
construction. Materials studied include asphalt cement and asphaltic
concrete, portland cement and portland cement concrete, admixtures,
mineral aggregates, metals, wood, composites with polymeric
materials, and waste materials. Students are provided with a
basic background in the behavior of materials and the application
of this knowledge to engineered construction.
