What will I learn?

Materials engineers make a unique contribution – not just by making new materials, but also by improving what we already have. They make things stronger, lighter and more functional, yet sustainable and cost-effective.

Their contributions underpin all aspects of engineering, manufacturing and health sciences, whether its creating a lighter and stronger jet engine, a biodegradable tissue scaffold to grow organs from stem cells or new types of solar cells and batteries. Unsurprisingly, material engineers are increasingly in demand with their expertise needed in:

  • the emerging fields of nanotechnology, biomedical materials, electronic materials, recycling and energy generation
  • the development of lightweight metal alloys
  • the use of materials for energy systems such as batteries and fuel cells
  • functional materials made at the nanoscale, including the wonder-material ‘graphene
  • traditional industries such as metallurgy and mining
  • failure analysis.

Working across a range of exciting industries including aerospace, biomedical, mining, manufacturing, processing, semiconductor and recycling, materials engineers become:

  • metallurgists
  • plastics engineers
  • ceramists
  • adhesive scientists
  • process and quality-control engineers
  • corrosion or fracture engineers.
