<p>In Materials Science you’ll likely have a bit less math than in ChemE (we don’t have to do fluids). You’ll still be taking math up through differential equations, though, so it would definitely be wise to get a fairly firm foundation in that.</p>
<p>Here’s a thread from a few days ago where I talked a little about the similarities and differences, as I see them, between MSE and ChemE departments. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/811601-chemical-engineering-vs-materials-science-engineering.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/engineering-majors/811601-chemical-engineering-vs-materials-science-engineering.html</a></p>
