'''Abbreviations''' are used to shorten long words and should be used wherever possible. The abbreviations listed on this page are common abbreviations that may be used without specifying their meaning.<ref group="Note">This rule should not be followed on the abbreviation's own page. For example, the abbreviation "MSE" can only be used on the [[Materials Science and Engineering]] page after "Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)" is stated on the first use.</ref> Any other abbreviations can only be used if its meaning is stated first with the abbreviation in parentheses. For example, the abbreviation "CAD" can only be used after stating "computer-aided design (CAD)" on the first use.
