What kind of job should I find after majoring in materials science and engineering?

1. Let’s first introduce the Materials Science and Engineering major: This major cultivates senior engineering and technical talents engaged in material design, testing, research and material development, application and management in materials science and engineering. Mainly researches metal materials and strengthening, composite materials, material fatigue and fracture, material corrosion and protection, material surface modification technology, etc.

2. Employment direction one: metal direction. Such as metal materials, polymers, inorganic non-metals, powder metallurgy. Jobs are generally found in companies that produce various materials, and most of them do technical work, including equipment maintenance, overhaul, and quality inspection, such as steel plants, and other equipment manufacturing plants. Employment direction two: inorganic non-direction. There are three major directions: cement and concrete, glass, and ceramics. Graduates can design factories or manage production in building materials companies or related design and R&D institutions. Employment direction three: theoretical research. This direction focuses on theoretical research and experiments rather than practical applications, and involves research related to high-tech fields such as nano-coatings and fuel cells. The career path is relatively narrow and the salary is average. Employment direction four: Engage in quality inspection in laboratories of construction inspection and scientific research units. You can also work as a material worker in a construction company. The working environment on the construction site is relatively poor and hard. Of course, the salary is considerable, and there is definitely a lot of money in material work.
