List of Disciplines

Materials Science and Engineering bridge the gap between the actual world and nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and energy production. Through the principles of physics and chemistry, this academic field aids in the improvement of scientific and electronic materials. This branch of study teaches students about material performance, quality, and functional qualities. The goal of this research is to create new approaches by mixing chemical ingredients into materials. Materials Science and Engineering is a course that is broad and adaptable. Other Engineering and Technology sub-disciplines rely heavily on the principles of Materials Sciences and Engineering.

Advanced materials rely on Materials Science and Engineering to design and build safer electronic devices and heavy machinery. Cars, automobile machines, sensors, quicker computers, growing and harvesting equipment, and healthcare electronic gadgets are among these things. Materials scientists and engineers discover new materials and products and improve existing ones. The job of Materials Scientists and Engineers is to conduct tests, monitor performance, document research work, troubleshoot, and supervise product quality. Their knowledge of the job includes analysing and preserving artefacts and artwork.
