Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering with Specialisation in Functional Materials

Program Overview

Everything we use is made of materials, yet only a handful of these materials occur naturally. All the rest have been microscopically engineered originally by nature, but increasingly by materials engineers/scientists.

Materials science is the foundation for creating high-performance materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers and composites. In this degree, you’ll learn about developing high-performance materials that are lighter, greener and stronger – for use in every aspect of technology. You’ll also develop the theoretical and practical skills to improve materials for aerospace, automotive, biomedical and information technology-based industries.

This degree builds a foundation in mathematics, chemistry and physics, before moving into the fundamental properties and structures of materials. You’ll investigate aspects of engineering design and the application and selection of materials before concentrating on a research project to sharpen your experimental and analytical skills.

This multidisciplinary degree uses a combination of lectures, practical hands-on laboratory work and research and design projects. It also incorporates components of professional communication, management aspects of business and industrial training.

Specialisation: Functional Materials
Functional materials are those which possess highly specific native properties and functions such as ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, magnetism and energy storage. They are found in all classes of materials: metals, ceramics, polymers and organic molecules. Functional materials show great promise for many strategic technological advances that will change the way in which materials are used. Typical applications include:

  • Devices for electromagnetic applications
  • Energy generation
  • Electro- and magneto- caloric materials for energy storage
  • Solar harvesting functions
  • Semiconductor logic and memory technology.
