Materials engineering is a broad ranging discipline which applies the principles of science and engineering to the development, manufacture and performance of metallic, ceramic, composites, polymeric and electronic materials.
This programme is concerned with the generation and application of knowledge on engineering materials. It comprises aspects such as materials structure, phase transformation, materials properties and characterization, materials processing, materials selection and design. Materials are crucial in all other fields of engineering, since innovations in materials often lead to improvements in design or sometimes to the emergence of brand new product.
