Materials Engineering

Graduates have specialised knowledge of materials and technologies, with an emphasis on practical application in line with modern standards:

• material production and processing technologies (welding, forming, machining, casting, heat treatment and surface treatment);
• in work organisation and safety;
• in information technology and industrial enterprise management.

In addition to specialist technical knowledge, graduates have a sufficient foundation in natural sciences, mathematics and physics. A grounding in electrical engineering, design, informatics, economics and production management allows them to consider engineering problems from a broad range of perspectives.

• Fundamentals of Environmental Research.
• Fundamentals of Production Technologies.
• Material science.
• Mathematics.
• Physics.
• Communication skills.
• Fundamentals of ethics.

The programme develops knowledge of concepts, principles and theories underlying the use of engineering materials across professional practice. Graduates mainly work in mechanical engineering and interdisciplinary energy and electrical engineering roles, wherever material properties and operating processes must be understood, optimised and controlled to improve economic efficiency and operational safety. Materials Engineering graduates can work in:

• as a project manager;
• as a designer;
• as a technologist;
• process specialist;
• a specialist in non-destructive materials testing;
• a specialist in incoming quality control of raw materials for engineering production.
