2. My pleasure. What was your major that lead you to take this course?

I'm something of an autodidact where materials science is concerned, but I'm being lead by my son, a high school senior to be, who is looking to attend a university with a materials science major.

It's interesting that not every university actually offers that major to undergraduates and those that do stick in different places, usually engineering, but sometimes in chemistry or physics departments. Because not many people seem to be interested in the topic, the student to professor ratios tend to be excellent.
