Where are they now?
Where can a degree in MSE take you?
About half of the graduates of the undergraduate program go on to graduate school, either immediately following graduation or as they pursue careers. While many of our students go to work in industry or for government labs after graduate school, some decide to remain in academia as faculty members.
We've caught up with some of our alumni to learn more about their experiences at the University of Maryland, their career plans, how they have benefited from earning a degree in Materials Science and Engineering, and what they're doing today.
If you're an alumna or alumnus interested in being featured here, please contact us at mse@umd.edu. We'd love to talk to you!
Doing research allowed me to build important skills
Don’t ever give up... a single successful test makes all of the failures worth it!
The MSE Department was amazing - I felt a connection to every professor, all of my classmates.
I felt the topics you learn in MSE really prepare you for a high tech career.
Getting through the rigorous studies of an undergraduate engineering degree prepared me for the real world.
I was fortunate to have Prof. Roytburd as my Ph.D. thesis advisor — he was my mentor and biggest supporter.
Learn to manage your time well – this is the single most important aspect of graduate student life.
