Chemistry studies compounds and their inter-conversions, formation and degeneration. When a compound is being used for a specific purpose, in a device, structure, or apparatus, it becomes a material. The study of the properties of materials and designing of new materials is the domain of material science. Materials surround us everywhere. These are the typical questions material science is trying to answer.
Material science is deeply rooted in chemistry.
Analysis and preparation of materials is investigated. Additionally the curriculum includes the general courses like physics, algebra, theory of probability, computer science, ecology. A future leader of a firm for studying or producing materials will benefit from courses of the fundamentals of economics and law, management and design of technological processes. And those who wish to continue further can go on to study in the masters and doctoral programs.
