Materials Science and Engineering

Materials science and engineering is the field of study and technology to create novel materials(in particular crystalline hard matter) required for producing new things that do not exist yet. For example, from iron which would rust and decompose if left untreated, the creation of special steels with various exceptional properties, including rust-resistant stainless steel, led to a drastic change of design for machinery and building structures throughout the world. As seen in history to date , the emergence of new materials causes a paradigm shift in the development of innovative technologies. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering promotes diverse fundamental research aimed at the development and practical application of structural and functional materials.
