Program Overview

Master's Degree in Materials Engineering

The field of Materials Science and Engineering is an important measure of the sophistication of a civilization. The ability to understand and use materials innovatively enhances and restricts life. Materials engineering is an interdisciplinary field that studies the relationship among the structure of materials at atomic or molecular scales, their macroscopic properties, processing, and applications.

Objective of the Master's Program

The main objective of the MSc. in Materials Engineering is to prepare engineers with interdisciplinary technical preparation, enabling them to perform multiple activities related to materials for a wide variety of productive sectors. This includes product design, selection, extraction, development, and processing of materials, including computer modeling, the application of service-life criteria, and quality control of production.

Program Details

• The study of materials engineering has been established across the developed world for many decades, encompassing aspects of the physical sciences and of engineering.
  • Two central themes are:
    • The link between structure and the chemical, physical, and mechanical properties.
    • How control of microstructure through processing can be used to optimize engineering performance.
• Students of the course will examine projects associated with manufacturing processes, processing, and utilization, as well as recycling, environmental monitoring and impact, restoration, and rehabilitation.

Field Description

Materials scientists and engineers help to develop the materials required for new products, find better lower-cost manufacturing routes, and enhance the performance of existing materials. They consider the environmental impact and sustainability of their products and examine how to optimize the selection of materials and create sophisticated databases from which properties and service behavior can be predicted.

Program Structure

The range of programs to which this benchmark statement applies is diverse and entails science-based and engineering-based programs. The program prepares engineers to work in various sectors, including product design, materials selection, extraction, development, and processing, with a focus on interdisciplinary technical preparation.
