Your connection to NC State MSE does not end at graduation. Our alumni build careers across materials science and engineering, return to mentor students, hire NC State graduates and help strengthen the department for future generations.

MSE alumni work across industries, research institutions and organizations around the world. Their careers reflect the versatility of a materials science and engineering education, from advanced manufacturing and semiconductors to energy, aerospace, research and entrepreneurship.

The department values the relationships our alumni continue to build with students, faculty and one another. Whether you are looking to reconnect with MSE, share your expertise, hire a student or support the next generation of materials engineers, there are many ways to stay involved.
