Top Undergraduate Programs in Materials Engineering

Selecting and developing the right materials for future tech products and systems, whether they are based on plastic, steel, or other materials, is becoming increasingly important given a scarcity of some minerals, supply-chain issues, and engineering limitations. Materials engineering is not as well-known as other engineering specialties, but will nevertheless play in important role alongside electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers in both near-term and long-term research and development.

U.S. News and World Report has compiled a list of the top undergraduate materials engineering programs. Design News has excerpted their findings for the gallery below.
