Materials engineers are concerned with the selection, processing and development of materials.
They apply their knowledge of materials behaviour to optimise processing and improve properties of the products that manufacturers produce. They are also involved in the understanding and controlling the service behaviour of materials in order to improve the performance and longevity of machines, plants and structures. There are career paths in design, operations, technology, production, management, research and consulting, in Thailand, Australia and overseas. The new course provides for one elective subject each semester.
