Materials, Mechatronics and Manufacturing Engineering
The School of Materials, Mechatronics and Manufacturing Engineering (MMME) houses four programs: Materials Science and Engineering, Mechatronics and Robotics, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Electrical Engineering Technology. In each program, we focus on rigorous preparation of students for practical application of science, mathematics and engineering principles to produce superior professionals for industry and academia.
Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)
Materials Science and Engineering is a graduate-only program focused on the close connection between structure, processing and property relationship inherent in ceramics, metals, polymers, electronic materials and composites. Most other fields of engineering eventually experience materials limitations such as high-temperature strength in engines, corrosion resistance in structures, vehicles and energy exploration infrastructure, miniaturization of electronics and photonics devices, biocompatibility, strength and corrosion resistance of medical implants, reliability of advanced composites for aerospace structures, etc. Materials scientists and engineers use a knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics to both understand molecular structure and how processing affects this structure to impact macroscopic performance. MSE students receive an education focused on foundational sciences of thermodynamics, kinetics, characterization and processing. The field of materials science and engineering is expanding into a period of unprecedented intellectual challenges, opportunities and growth. Products created using materials science and engineering research contribute to the economic strength and security of not only the state, but also the country.
MSE is located at OSU-Tulsa campus at the Helmerich Research Center (HRC), a premier facility in the historic Greenwood district. The HRC is home to electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, destructive and non-destructive evaluation tools, spectroscopy and thermal analysis tools, a class-100 clean room, and other world-class facilities for materials fabrication and processing.
MSE Program Educational Objectives
The MSE program features both research-intensive and course-intensive paths for graduate degrees. In either path, students study advanced thermodynamics of materials, kinetic processes in materials, advanced materials processing, and materials characterization as core courses. Students typically select specialty elective courses from MSE, Chemistry, Physics, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering to round out their curriculum. Students holding Bachelor of Science degrees in any of these fields can succeed in MSE. Graduates of the MSE program find employment throughout industry, in government labs and in academia. A hallmark of either the MS or PhD graduate is the publication of peer-reviewed academic articles related to their research. Likewise, during the course of study, students attend national and international conferences to present their work to other materials scientists and engineers.
MSE Degrees
Master of Science: Two options exist to receive an MS degree: (1) a 30 credit hour, thesis-based program where the student conducts research and submits a thesis for examination, and (2) a 32 credit hour, non-thesis-based program (MEN) where the students complete a creative project and submit a report for examination.
Doctor of Philosophy: The PhD is a research-intensive program consisting of 42-60 credit hours beyond the MS degree where the candidate is expected to formulate an original research proposal, conduct research and write an authoritative dissertation to be submitted for examination.
Mechatronics and Robotics (MERO) Engineering
Mechatronics and Robotics is an integrated engineering program comprised of mechanical engineering, electrical/electronic engineering, control systems, and computer science principles. MERO systems are pervasive throughout our modern society (e.g, advanced manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, automation, service robots, military and police services, etc.) with demand for qualified engineers growing at a rapid pace. MERO is an excellent choice for students with an aptitude toward mechanical, electrical and computer engineering who like to build smart systems.
The MERO undergraduate curriculum emphasizes application of mathematics, science and engineering principles to solve practical problems. A hallmark of the program is significant laboratory experience led by expert faculty in: mechatronics, industrial robots, Programmable logic controller (PLC), DC/AC circuits, fluid power, materials, basic instrumentation, 3D printing, computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE). The latest computer software is provided and supported for the courses that MERO students take. Where appropriate, laboratories with modern computer data acquisition systems and on-screen displays are available.
Senior capstone design integrates the knowledge and skills learned during this course of study. MERO graduates are prepared to enter the workforce either as employees of major companies or small businesses, entrepreneurs, or to continue to pursue graduate studies. Multiple MERO major courses are popular among engineering undergraduate and graduate students from other disciplines who want to augment their resume for their job search or improve the impact of thesis/dissertation research.
In addition to the required mechatronics and robotics courses, students are provided with a solid foundation in calculus, physics, linear algebra, differential equations, statistics, chemistry, and computer science.

These include: Materials for Energy Technologies, Bio-Materials for Medical Technologies, Advanced Materials for Aerospace, and Materials for Electronics and Control Technologies. All areas fall under the broad umbrella of the School of Materials, Mechatronics and Manufacturing Engineering
Admission Requirements
Admission to either the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree program requires graduation from a materials science and engineering or related curriculum approved by the ABET or a recognized equivalent from any international program.
Students with related undergraduate degrees, such as chemistry, physics, engineering physics, applied physics, etc., can be admitted conditionally, subject to completing prescribed Materials Science and Engineering program core courses. Admission is competitive based on undergraduate GPA, GRE and TOEFL (for international students), statement of interests, experience and recommendations.
The Master of Science Degree
The Master of Science in Materials Science Engineering (MSE) has both thesis and creative component (non-thesis) options. The thesis option requires a total of 30 credit hours, which includes 24 hours of formal coursework (regularly scheduled classes, not independent study) and 6 hours of a thesis. The non-thesis option or creative component requires a total of 35 credit hours, which includes 33 hours of formal coursework (regularly scheduled classes, not independent study) and 2 hours of a creative component or project. The main difference between the two options is that in the thesis option, students conduct independent research, while in the creative component option, students conduct critical review of the literature on an advanced topic of interest to the MSE program. Both options require a professional report or thesis and an oral presentation. Students take 15 hours of core courses (required) with the remainder of the hours being MSE elective courses or their equivalent (to be approved by MSE graduate coordinator and the thesis advisor or has been considered as an equivalent MSE course). Students must complete no less than 21 hours of MSE 5000- and 6000-level courses through Oklahoma State University. For both options the courses taken must include:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| MSE 5013 | Advanced Thermodynamics of Materials | 3 |
| MSE 5023 | Diffusion and Kinetics | 3 |
| MSE 5043 | Advanced Materials Characterization | 3 |
| MSE 5093 | Fundamentals of Materials Science | 3 |
| MSE 5193 | Advanced Materials Processing | 3 |
| MSE 5010 | Materials Science and Engineering Seminar for Masters Students | 0 |
The Master of Science in Engineering Technology (MSET) degree in Mechatronics and Robotics (MERO) will provide students with an interdisciplinary applied engineering education through coursework, project, and thesis work. Students will learn fundamental and applied concepts of real world mechatronic and robotic systems including interface theory, sensing and actuation systems, hardware and software integration, modelling and control. Our faculty members have extensive industry experience. Students will have an option to specialize in one or more areas including control systems, artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, advanced manufacturing, and soft-robotics. All courses will focus on applied engineering via hands-on learning.
The Doctor of Philosophy Degree
The general credit requirement is a minimum of 90 credit hours beyond the BS degree, including at least 36 hours of credit for research and at least 30 hours of class work. It is expected that the courses must include:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| MSE 5013 | Advanced Thermodynamics of Materials | 3 |
| MSE 5023 | Diffusion and Kinetics | 3 |
| MSE 5043 | Advanced Materials Characterization | 3 |
| MSE 6010 | Materials Science and Engineering Seminar for PhD Students | 0 |
Students are responsible for consultation with their doctoral advisory committee in preparing the plan of study. Furthermore, students have to pass the PhD qualifying exam and the dissertation proposal defense to become eligible for candidacy for the PhD Degree, successfully conduct independent research for the dissertation, and pass the final dissertation defense in order to qualify for the PhD degree. More details can be found in the MSE Graduate Student Handbook.
