Aim

The program aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of materials engineering to prepare graduates for professional careers in minerals, mining, manufacturing and processing industries.

Content & Structure

The program has a foundational first year that includes an introduction to mechanical, civil and electrical engineering to give a broad engineering knowledge so that graduates have an extensive understanding of basic fundamentals and an appreciation of the diversity of engineering. Courses in second and third years are arranged to give the program a practice based emphasis that provides engineering knowledge in a range of areas including materials characterisation, materials chemistry, surface engineering, thermal processing and metallurgy, polymer science, and ceramics and composites. The fourth year includes a major individual, industry based project in materials engineering.
