It's always looking for new candidates. I've never known an unemployed MSE.
Yeah, I saw a government contractor posting offering 68K for an associates. Plus the field is looking for new candidates.
Holy cow yea. Entry level for an MSE was $50,000 kpy 15 years ago. Probably + $60 kpy now. Which would easily spin off to $100+ inside of 5 years. Best wishes man. MSE is one of the toughest engineering majors.
Well, technically it's full time. My boss lets me work around school hours. But yeah, I figure the dual specialties would make the job market mine.
While working a full time job? You're mad as a hatter! You won't have any trouble finding a job with that degree, that's for sure.
Actually I'm double majoring. Industrial Engineering AND full material sciences. But thanks for the links.
Here's an excelent intro text you can use as a primer from Elsevier. It's only $56 and I think this would serve your needs. http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/boo...on#description If for whatever reason the link doesn't take you to the specific book enter "technology of engineering materials" into elseviers search field. the authors are W. Bolton and Mathew Philip. Make sure you check out the google preview of the book to see if it fits the bill for you. I think this is pretty much what you are looking for.
Well your best bet is having a solid undergraduate background in freshman level chemistry, math and physics. If I remember correctly your more of an industrial technology/engineerong major, right? If that's the case your primary interest in Material Science Engineering (MSE) will be material characterization, composition and testing (that's about the only area of MSE where I have some professional knowledge), materials processing and materials management. If that's correct try starting on line with Wiki Books "Materials Science". Check out the links there which link most of the major topics. However the information there is grossly incomplete. You can use that as your "primer" and google or research the different topics listed so you can learn more. This will help give you a general frame of reference about MSE and you can research more about specific topics that are relevent to you. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Materials_Science
Hey Mott, do you have any suggestions where I might brush up/expand my knowledge of material sciences? I'm about to start getting really in depth with that stuff in school and I'd like a good primer.
ROTFLMAO!!!!
