Northwestern’s MSE BS immerses students in the structure-property-processing relationships that underpin batteries, quantum dots, and biodegradable polymers. Using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, atomic-layer deposition, and machine-learning phase-diagram prediction, undergraduates craft materials that store more energy, heal themselves, or sense environmental toxins. Collaborations with Argonne and national labs deliver front-row seats to materials discovery pipelines.
