Undergraduate Advising in Materials Science and Engineering

Students choosing materials engineering as their primary field should follow the listed curriculum for materials engineers. They should submit a complete program of courses to their advisor for approval during their junior year.

Students with double majors or students who are transferring into materials science and engineering should meet with the Materials Undergraduate Advisor, Professor Isabel Lloyd, Room 2309 Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Building (090).  To schedule an appointment, e-mail Professor Lloyd at illoyd@umd.edu.

Students who do not fall into one of the above categories may be advised by Professor Luz Martinez-Miranda, Room 1110D Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Building (090).  To schedule an appointment, e-mail Professor Martinez-Miranda at ljmm@umd.edu.

MSE students participating in or desiring to participate in the Interdisciplinary Minor Program in Nanoscale Science and Technology (NS&T) must formally declare their participation using the Nano Minor Declaration/Advising Form (PDF). Submission of the form must follow a meeting with the department's NS&T program advisors, Dr. Kathleen Hart, Assistant Director of Student Services, and Professor Ray Phaneuf, who will help the students develop a program of courses suitable for the minor and a schedule for taking them. To schedule an appointment, e-mail Dr. Kathleen Hart at hart@umd.edu and Professor Phaneuf at phaneuf@lps.umd.edu.

The Materials Science and Engineering Undergraduate Mentoring Program

Materials majors participate in a mentoring program during the sophomore and junior years. Students must meet with a faculty member to discuss research activities, specialization areas and career/graduate school options. The student must have a mentoring form signed by the faculty member and bring it to their advisor for registration purposes each semester. Students should choose a different faculty member for each semester. Mentoring forms may be found outside the Assistant Director for Student Services Office at 1113 Chemical and Nuclear Engineering Building, or you may download the mentoring form. (PDF)
