Polymers are used in almost every area of life, from phones and computers to food packaging and auto parts. Polymer engineers often study plastics, but other substances are considered polymers, too. In this program, you’ll study the chemistry, structure, and properties of polymers. You’ll also gain an understanding of the design, development, and analysis of polymer materials. If being part of the creation of new, sustainable materials sounds exciting to you, this may be the degree for you.
