Description

Materials engineering is all about making new materials and improving existing ones. It is about making things stronger, lighter and more functional, sustainable and cost-effective. Whether it is the next generation jet engine, a biodegradable tissue scaffold to grow organs from stem cells or new types of solar cells and batteries - the structure, properties and processing of materials are crucial to the final product.

Materials engineering is truly interdisciplinary. It involves physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry - culminating in a ground breaking field of research and a thriving job market for aspiring engineers.
