I live in the Puget Sound and was intrigued by this degree. It is offered at Western Washington University. I don’t really see many other universities offering this and was looking for information from anyone who has majored in this. It’s not really my first choice but if I don’t get accepted into the UW (transfer student) I would like to have some fallback options.
To be honest, you don’t see it other places because it’s not an ABET-accredited variety of engineering. It seems like a more focused, distilled version of materials science.
Thanks for pointing that out. Pretty much means I won’t use it as an option.
I just looked it up and it’s an ABET-accredited *engineering technology * degree rather than traditional engineering. Related but not the same.
Is that a much worse degree? Would my options be much more limited with that?
You can find many topics on that in these forms. Long story short, it’s a different degree. It has less math and is more applications-based and graduates are often in demand for the more hands-on jobs. It also generally pays a little less.
You may want to look into Materials Science and Engineering, which deals with composites, metals, alloys, polymers and ceramics. 
It’s a great major, but it’s not as common as mechanical, electrical, etc.

I think I’d do Materials Science, too.
When I was at Boeing, they were doing all kinds of work with composites. I wonder if Boeing asked WWU or some other school in Washington to come up with the program?
