Materials Science and Engineering

The unique properties of a material determine whether and how it can be applied to specific technological solutions. The field of materials science and engineering studies these properties. It is concerned with understanding the structure, processing, nature, and applications of materials, and enables scientists and engineers to relate the structure and composition of materials to performance.
