<p>How is that field nowadays in terms of job market?</p>
<p>Nanoengineering and Materials Science are very different. </p>
<p>“Nanoengineering” as a discipline doesn’t really exist.You’ll need a PhD to do research with nanotechnology. That means 5-6 years in grad school after undergrad. A career in MS is possible with only a bachelor’s degree, but I think an advanced degree is common. The job market is small, but the number of students in MS is small as well.</p>
<p>I’m in MSE. We share the job pool with a lot of mechanical, aerospace, and sometimes chemical engineers, if that gives you an idea of who hires us. The job market has been decent; I had multiple offers and I’d say at least 75% of my class (of about 25 people) have jobs lined up or are already in at a grad school. If you want to work in a lab you’ll probably need an advanced degree, but there are a lot of jobs (in materials and out of materials) that are available without.</p>
<p>I hear it’s small but solid.</p>
