What is Materials Science and Engineering?

Materials science and engineering is the study of all materials, from glass materials and materials used for sporting goods, materials we use every day to materials used in aerospace and medical care.

By understanding how materials work, material scientists and engineers can develop existing materials to create new materials and improve performance for new applications. You can control the material structure from the atomic level so that characteristics such as strength can be tailored to specific applications.

In this area, coating studies replaced titanium / bronze bearings of A350 / A380 aircraft with titanium.

The weight of each new bearing is halved. Each aircraft has 2700 bearings and can save 400 kg. In addition, the service life of the aircraft and carbon dioxide emissions of 36,000 tons can save 7.6 million pounds of fuel.

Spiders can produce various silks of various natures, but some of them are represented in ways that other materials can not be designed.

In this department, researchers are working hard to better understand the characteristics of natural silk and how we are making similar materials.

Within the department, researchers are working on solutions like deep burials to determine how material containers and rocks resist waste

Our course is designed to change you from students to professional scientists and engineers. Learn about materials from atomic scale to large scale manufacturing parts. This includes understanding the scientific nature of the materials, engineering properties, and material handling. By understanding how these three aspects interact, we will improve you existing materials and train you to discover or create new materials

If you are particularly interested in materials in a specific field, you can choose a more specific degree such as metallurgy, materials science, nuclear engineering.

Aerospace materials will provide you with a combination of technical knowledge and skills that will enable you to contribute to the future of the international aerospace industry

To learn more about materials in the context of human biology, you should choose the materials science and engineering (biomaterials) course.

The interdisciplinary field of material science, often referred to as material science and engineering, is the design and discovery of new substances, especially solids. The origin of material science originated from the Enlightenment when researchers began using chemistry, physics, and engineering analytical thinking to understand ancient phenomenological observations in metallurgy and mineralogy. Material science still contains elements of physics, chemistry and engineering. Therefore, this field has long been regarded as a subfield of these related fields from academic institutions. Since the 1940's, material science has become widely recognized as a specific unique scientific engineering field, major technical universities all over the world have established specialized learning schools in science or engineering departments.

Material science began to develop in the 1960's - in order to create, discover and design new materials, people realized that they had to work on it in a uniform way. Therefore, material science and engineering including metallurgy, solid physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering were born. This field is inherently interdisciplinary, and material scientists / engineers must recognize and use methods of physicists, chemists, and engineers. Therefore, this field is closely related to these fields. In addition, many physicists, chemists and engineers are also aware that they are working in the field of material science.
