Materials engineers make new materials and improve existing materials by making them more functional, sustainable and affordable.
Materials – metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers and composites – give manufactured products their functional and aesthetic qualities.
They apply their knowledge of materials' behaviour to improve the processing and properties of a particular product.
You'll work across a range of industries on everything from your phone screen and running shoes to aircraft wings and artificial skin and help improve the performance of machines and structures.
Depending on your specialisation, career paths can include design, operation, management, research and consulting in the automobile, white goods, steel, aluminium and polymer industries.
The University of Queensland is the only university in Queensland to offer this highly specialised major.
You'll have to choose an engineering specialisation to study this major first.
