<p>I am wondering about this program. Is it a broad degree? Do you actually find jobs with the degree or is it more research based? And where? Auto industry? Defense?</p>
<p>Is it exactly what it says it is, meaning you learn about materials? i/e finding the right material in order to make something more elastic, or stronger, etc?</p>
<p>You find plenty of industry jobs. I heard a quote somewhere that one of the main things that will advance our society greatly will be the development of better materials. I will note that as I have been applying for internships and research opportunities, many are out there for people interested in material science and engineering.</p>
<p>Yes, you learn to develop better materials for your applications. It is used everywhere.</p>
