材料科學與工程系所的歷史可以一路追溯到麻省理工學院在西元1865年成立的最初。這麼多年以來,本系的主要功能就是讓學生有機會在材料科學和工程的最尖端領域進行獨立且有創造性的實驗,並藉此讓學生從中學習。時至今日,本系已經成為美國同類科系中規模最大的系所,在材料科學教育和研究中的許多領域也都領先群倫。本系和麻省理工學院一同創造出它廣為人知的追求完美的傳統。
本系所過去所締造的多項成就其原因是:本系持續在工程科學與技術尖端領域上的進展、成功的將這些進展包容進教學和研究計畫中,以及我們和產業界的密切合作。
除了將知識不斷的推進之外,我們也招收背景各異的學生和教師。大多數的科學或是工程領域都和材料有某種程度的關聯。材料的需要就像是我們生活中對能源的需要一樣的重要。根據估計,有三分之一的工程師的工作項目直接和材料有關,而有超過一半的工程師則與材料科學的知識有間接的相關。

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.
