Introduction to Materials Engineering
The Materials Engineering Programme has been offered by the Faculty of Building Materials since 2020. Graduates of the Programme are equipped with a solid foundation in fundamental and scientific knowledge, enabling them to understand the general principles of major classes of materials, including ceramics, polymers, composites, inorganic materials, and advanced materials such as nanomaterials and thin films. This foundation provides a basis for the application and development of materials fabrication technologies appropriate to material structures and properties.
The Materials Engineering Programme is structured according to the CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) approach, with an emphasis on building a strong foundation in both natural sciences and engineering knowledge. This approach supports students in the conception, design, implementation, and operation of engineering ideas and solutions. In addition to technical knowledge, the Programme focuses on the comprehensive development of personal and professional skills, including teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. Courses are designed to promote experiential and active learning, enabling students to develop independent learning and research capabilities, as well as adaptability to the demands of a modern and dynamic labour market.
Furthermore, the Programme prepares graduates with the capacity to undertake engineering management and quality control roles in production facilities, factories, and enterprises related to materials engineering. Graduates are also equipped to advise, propose, lead, and implement projects in the field of materials engineering, contributing to national socio-economic development.
The annual enrolment size of the Programme varies according to each period and societal needs, typically ranging from approximately 50 to 100 students per year.
