In looking at the Rice info, it looks like it is 2 different majors housed in the same department. Leading to either a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering or a Bachelor’s in Materials Science. Mech is ABET accedited but I couldn’t fine anything about Materials Science in the ABET info for Rice(which I’m not sure if that is the same as Materials Science and Engineering or not?). Maybe someone can clarify that?
At Virginia Tech, there are 2 separate departments=Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering-both show up as accredited on the ABET search. So, it is a little confusing.
