Inside MSE

View MSE Degree Program
Graduate degree study can be undertaken on a part-time basis through the SCPD Honors Cooperative Program (HCP). Students must be admitted as Stanford University graduate students through the regular admissions process. The MSE master’s degree may be completed only by attending classes on campus.

If you want to update or refresh your skills in an area, or get a “first-taste” in a new discipline, SCPD offers graduate courses through the Non Degree Option (NDO). You may take individual courses or earn a graduate certificate through successful completion of three courses in:

When a full-length graduate course is more than you need and more than you can fit into your schedule, SCPD offers a growing portfolio of short-term, intensive learning experiences delivered in ways that meet the needs of busy professionals and managers.

Novel Materials for Extending Moore’s Law
An exploration of new materials for continuing the dimensional scaling of MOS devices. Stanford University Campus, August 22-25

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Online Seminars
Learn from Stanford faculty and industry experts the fundamentals of nanoscience and nanotechnology with potentially significant impact for the materials, manufacturing, semiconductor electronics, photonics, data storage and life science industries.

Strategic Decision and Risk Management
Learn to make effective critical decisions to increase shareholder value.

Free Online Seminars
SCPD makes it possible for the public to view a series of thought-provoking seminars on a broad range of topics such as “Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders” and “Design and Manufacturing Forum”. Listen to and learn from visionaries such as Donald Knuth, “Computer Musings”, and many more.

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) is concerned with the relation between the structure and properties of materials, factors that control the internal structure of solids, and processes for altering the structure and properties of solids. It brings together in a unified discipline the development in physical metallurgy, ceramics, and the physics and chemistry of solids. Research is done in interdisciplinary teams within the department and in collaboration with engineers and scientists from other departments at Stanford and institutions outside Stanford University.

Research areas include:
  • Electronic Materials
  • Magnetic Materials
  • Optical and Photonic Materials
  • Mechanical Behavior of Materials
  • Biological Materials
  • Materials for Energy and Environmental Applications
  • Organic and Polymeric Materials
  • Advanced Characterization
  • Thin-film Deposition
  • Nanopatterning
  • Computational Materials Science
  • Bulk Crystal Growth
  • Shape Deposition Manufacturing

The MSE faculty has been well represented in awards granted by The Global Climate and Energy Project to research the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier.
