Major technological development in materials manufacturing is now engulfing the industrial world. Advancements in light-weight metals, composites, high temperature materials, surface treatments and materials with special mechanical, electrical, optical and magnetic properties brought on a more diverse and profitable development for our nation. Not only that, the result is all around, improving our lives.

Materials engineering entails the selection, processing, understanding, development and service performance of materials. It involves the knowledge of engineering in the process and development of materials.

The programme aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for the design, development, production and application of engineering materials.  This is achieved through a comprehensive study of the relationships between the structure, processing and properties of materials.
