Materials science and engineering

Huake is ok in this field, and employment depends on its own strength. As long as you have the ability, you don't have to worry.

Employment prospect of materials science and engineering specialty

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering has a major in materials science and engineering and has the right to award master's degrees.

The major of materials science and engineering trains senior engineers and technicians who are engaged in material design, experiment, research, material development, application and management.

The main subjects include metal materials and strengthening, composite materials, material fatigue and fracture, material corrosion and protection, and material surface modification technology.

This major mainly studies the basic theory of materials science, grasps the basic laws of the relationship between material composition and organizational structure, production technology, environment and performance, and studies the basic laws of steel materials, composite materials, functional materials and other related materials science and engineering.

The main courses offered by the specialty are: solid chemistry, material chemistry, material physics, crystallography, material surface and interface, modern research methods of materials, materials science foundation, computer application in materials science and engineering, etc.

Through theoretical study and various practical trainings, graduates have the following knowledge and abilities.

1. Master the basic theoretical knowledge of physical chemistry, engineering mechanics and technical science.

2. Master basic theoretical knowledge such as crystallography, phase transition theory, crystal defects and strength, surface and interface material design.

3. Master the basic knowledge of metal materials, inorganic nonmetallic materials, polymer materials and composite materials.

4 master the basic knowledge and skills of material research methods, performance testing and product quality control.

5. Choose materials reasonably according to the application requirements, and initially have the ability to develop new materials and technologies.

6. Have the basic knowledge and ability of technical and economic analysis of material processing and modification process.

What kind of discipline? Preparation and properties of various materials?

Everything in life is made of various materials. There are many kinds and forms of materials, but they can be divided into structural materials and functional materials according to their functions: the former is like steel and cement, and the latter is like semiconductors and superconductors. Material science is to study which elements, what proportion and what technology can make atomic energy arrange according to our requirements and have the expected performance. Now this subject is very interested in the special properties of materials with small dimensions in some dimensions, which has formed a nanotechnology craze. Material science is the brick and wood of the whole science and technology building, and computers cannot be separated from semiconductor materials; Rockets are inseparable from high-temperature resistant materials; High-speed information transmission is inseparable from optical fiber materials; Our housing is inseparable from building materials.

The content of the lecture needs rich basic knowledge.

Material science requires higher basic theory. To learn quantum mechanics, statistical physics and solid state physics, one must have basic knowledge of chemistry and metallurgy and be trained in modern instrumental analysis and research methods. Specialized courses include professional basic courses related to the whole discipline, such as introduction to material science, material physics, material chemistry, material properties, X-ray, electron microscopic analysis and so on. There are also some professional courses, such as electronic materials, magnetic materials, metal materials and heat treatment, ceramic materials, new energy materials, composite materials, polymer materials, corrosion and protection, nuclear materials, photoelectric materials and so on. Most of them are taught in class, including professional experiments, curriculum design or practice. I often come into contact with large precision instruments.

Do all the work related to materials after graduation.

Research assistant-research institutions or university laboratories do auxiliary work, starting salary is about 1000 yuan/month.

Material R&D Engineer-R&D for new materials or materials with improved performance, the starting salary is generally1000 ~ 5,000 yuan/month.

Device R&D Engineer-R&D of devices related to new materials, the starting salary is generally1000 ~ 5,000 yuan/month.

Quality control engineer-performance testing of raw materials and products. The starting salary is generally 1000 ~ 1500 yuan/month.

What kind of school to apply for, we must pay attention to, different schools have different research directions.

Almost every university of technology has a college of materials, but each college has a different focus, and different majors or directions in the same college can be very different. Generally speaking, Xi Jiaotong University, Tsinghua University, China University of Science and Technology, Beijing University of Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, etc.

Find a related major

There are two majors in material science: material physics and material chemistry (science major), focusing on the basic theory and technology of material science.

Expert reminder

The research and development of materials science needs a solid physical and chemical foundation.

The employment situation of different majors and directions is very different, so this "material" is not another "material" and cannot be generalized.
