Hello guys,
I received an admit to grad school for Mechanical Engineering, where my focus was initially Thermo-Fluids . I've also enquired about the Material Science department at the University(in the USA), and they are willing to let me transfer to the Material Science department provided I take an introductory course in my first semester, but they're primary focus is on electronic materials and devices.
I find the field interestingh overall, but is it advisable to switch to solid state and electronic materials since my undergraduate degree is in Mechanical Engineering(From India)?
The department told me that no quantum mechanics background is required, as that. Is one of the fundamental courses that will be taught in the graduate class.
Are there more opportunities in Material Science? A lot of jobs seemed primarily in Wafer Fab and walking in white suits in cleanrooms.
I'd like to know what's the opinion on this change .
Especially from guys working in semiconductor processing, manufacturing or fabrication industries.?
