The journal covers all aspects of materials engineering broadly described as materials selection, design, processing, characterization, and evaluation.

The special character of ceramic materials gives rise to many applications in materials engineering, electrical engineering, chemical engineering and mechanical engineering.

The 60,000-square-foot building houses classrooms and laboratories for mining engineering, chemical and materials engineering, and geological sciences.

Civil engineering, for example, includes structural and transportation engineering, and materials engineering includes ceramic, metallurgical, and polymer engineering.

Published research involves materials biology, materials physics, materials chemistry, materials engineering, and environmental science.
