材料科学与工程系所的历史可以一路追溯到麻省理工学院在公元1865年成立的最初。这么多年以来,本系的主要功能就是让学生有机会在材料科学和工程的最尖端领域进行独立且有创造性的实验,并藉此让学生从中学习。时至今日,本系已经成为美国同类科系中规模最大的系所,在材料科学教育和研究中的许多领域也都领先群伦。本系和麻省理工学院一同创造出它广为人知的追求完美的传统。
本系所过去所缔造的多项成就其原因是:本系持续在工程科学与技术尖端领域上的进展、成功的将这些进展包容进教学和研究计划中,以及我们和产业界的密切合作。
除了将知识不断的推进之外,我们也招收背景各异的学生和教师。大多数的科学或是工程领域都和材料有某种程度的关联。材料的需要就像是我们生活中对能源的需要一样的重要。根据估计,有三分之一的工程师的工作项目直接和材料有关,而有超过一半的工程师则与材料科学的知识有间接的相关。

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering traces its history back to the founding of MIT in 1865. Over these years, its central function has been the education of students by providing them with the opportunity to conduct independent and creative research at the forefront of materials science and engineering. Today the Department is the largest of its kind in the United States, and it is clearly the leader in many areas of materials education and research. The Department shares in creating the tradition of excellence for which MIT is known.
The Department's strong record of achievement is solidly based on its continuing record of pioneering advances in engineering sciences and technologies, its ability to relate new developments and advances to engineering practice, its success in incorporating these advances into teaching and research programs, and its close relationship with industry.
In advancing the frontiers of knowledge, the Department draws upon faculty and students with many diverse backgrounds. There are few fields of science or engineering that are not concerned in some way with materials. Indeed, the need for materials is as pervasive in our lives as is the need for energy. It has been estimated that the work of one in three engineers is directly related to materials, while over half of all engineers have at least an indirect concern for the properties of materials.
