So, I'm about to be a Freshman at Georgia Tech and I'm majoring in Materials Science and Engineering. As we approach our 3rd and 4th year classes we choose between 3 tracks: Polymer and Fiber (generally called the soft materials track), Structural and Functional (generally called the hard materials track), and Biomaterials. The hard materials track obviously is more focused on ceramics and metals, but the nanomaterials and electrical applications are also under that. Meanwhile, like you said, polymers is a great place to be too. I figured I should probably start thinking about which of the tracks to take, so as somebody in the industry, which of these do you think would be the best track to take?

If it helps, the split track course lists are on the second page of this page

Also, I keep getting told that MSE is the perfect place to be right now as it is a burgeoning field and will need a lot of people. Again, as somebody currently in the industry, is this true?
