What you study

Materials engineering deals with the relationship between the structure and composition of a material and its properties, combining knowledge from engineering and science. This is a broad field that covers both the planning and production stages of a product and the study of the different materials it is made of from chemical, physical, and biological perspectives. Courses in the degree include basic courses in mathematics and science, as well as courses such as material structure, thermodynamics and kinetics, mechanical, electrical, optical, and electrochemical properties, metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and electronic materials, and a practical final project.

After the degree

What graduates work as
