What is the scope for material science and engineering?
I think of getting into material science and engineering,what are the job prospects and higher education chances if I do this engineering.
Answer:
I received my Bachelors of Science in Materials Science & Engineering (or MatSE, MSE) and am currently working on my Master's degree while working at Intel.
As an undergrad, your first two years in MSE will be a mix of intro to materials courses, physics, and possibly some electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemistry.
Your second two years you'll pick a focus: metallurgy, polymers, ceramics, or electronic materials. I chose electronic materials and now work at Intel R&D (who is paying for my Master's).
Job prospects are enormous, since almost every industry needs materials engineers. Automotive, aeronotical(metallurgy), semiconductors (Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM, Applied Materials), ceramics (bio-ceramics is huge now), textiles and new polymers (Kimberly Clark range of products, kevlar, spectra, etc.)
As for higher education, there are a number of top Materials engineering schools with great PhD (and masters) programs. University of Illinois has one of the top, along with MIT, University of Florida at Gainesville, and Berkeley, to name a few. (I attended U of IL.) You won't have a problem getting into a program.
Good luck!
