What is Materials Science and Engineering?
Materials engineers create, design, develop and test the wide range of
materials we rely on in everyday life–from road pavement asphalt to
aircraft wing composites, from titanium engine valves to steel-alloy
fasteners. You'll find material engineers doing everything from
conducting x-ray spectroscopic analysis of a sample, or studying an
exotic substance with an electron microscope. In fact, materials
engineers often can be found creating, designing, building, and
improving the following:
- Titanium turbine blades
- Aircraft wings
- Road pavements
- Microstructures
- Transmission lines
- High strength fasteners
- Cryogenic fluids
- Computer chip materials
- Metallic elements
- Auto engine materials
- Radar absorbing coatings
- Aluminum airframes
- Engine valves
