MATERIALS ENGINEERING 10 | CHAPTER 4

COMPETENCIES OF A MATERIALS ENGINEER

Materials Engineering 

• Deals with the basis of the structure-property correlations, designing a material’s structure to create a material with predetermined properties in line for its application. In the field of materials engineering, the goal is to fabricate new products from existing materials and/or create new techniques for processing materials.

materials engineers

specialize in the properties, structures, processing, and performance of materials themselves - metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, etc.

Chemical engineers

ocus on designing and optimizing the processes that convert raw chemical materials into useful products - things like chemical reactions, separations, fluid flow, heat transfer, and process control.

Materials engineers

pend most of their time studying how the structure and arrangement of atoms and crystals in a material determine its mechanical, thermal, electrical and other properties.

Chemical engineers

concentrate on developing and improving the processes in a chemical plant - the piping, reactors, pumps, distillation columns, and so on
