Materials Science and Engineering is a four-year study that integrates fundamental knowledge of the structure and properties of materials with essential engineering skills, including the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), to advance materials development and optimization. The program combines theoretical training with hands-on experimental work, encompassing various classes of materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. In addition to traditional material manipulation techniques, students also explore the use of AI-driven methodologies to enhance materials design and performance.
Graduates are equipped with the knowledge of process-structure-property-performance relationships and utilize AI tools to unlock the full potential of materials for various applications. In the curriculum, students engage in projects involving the synthesis and characterization of advanced materials using AI-guided approaches. They explore the design and creation of materials with enhanced functional properties. The program emphasizes the development of environmentally friendly, sustainable manufacturing processes that strategically utilize rare materials and natural resources. Moreover, students are introduced to the application of AI in materials informatics, enabling efficient materials discovery, property prediction, and materials design optimization. They learn to leverage AI models and simulations to accelerate the exploration of new material compositions and predict their performance in diverse applications.
The skills developed during a materials science degree mean graduates go into a range of jobs including working as engineering professionals and in design and business roles. Jobs opportunities for material engineers in Pakistan:
