Overview

Why Study Materials Science and Metallurgy

In the Materials and Metallurgical Engineering program at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology students will learn that evolution and advancement of human civilization have always been prompted by the development of new materials. At each and every stages of human development any kind of application has been elevated only by pursuing relentless effort to develop and upgrade the material. When a material seemed to have given the best of it, finding the next generation of material has always been the biggest concern for the scientists and engineers. Following this never-ending relentless pursuit of the best material, the world now has entered into the age of science and technology where materials are now being handled at nano-scale level which has laid the ground for new possibilities for future.

Just take a minute and look around you. You will discover that everything and everything is built with some kind of materials. Whether we step into our home or into a space shuttle, each and every object consists of a certain type of material that offers some specific properties which we use for our benefit. Hence the properties give the material its value. This is when Materials and Metallurgical Engineering comes to play. It is the job of a Materials scientist/engineer to find the right material for any required property.
