Graduates of this programme are essentially Mechanical Engineers but those with specialization in Materials Engineering easily find job opportunities in various sectors. Alternatively, they can also be known as Materials Engineers depending on their job placements in industries they are in.

The career of a Materials Engineer calls for an individual with a good understanding of the basic knowledge in science and engineering of materials plus able to relate the characteristics, structure, properties, processing and performance of materials in accordance with their use and demand and in conformance with the development in technology. Because any new product starts with materials, Materials Engineers work on the leading edge in many industries. In fact, a Materials Engineer directly involved in the aspect of materials selection, quality control, component failure analysis and Research and Development (R & D) in new materials.

Every product to be produced from design to processing system will require materials which usually consist of metals, polymers, ceramics or composites. Hence, the role of a Materials Engineer will be crucial especially when it involves selection of suitable materials and processing. Career opportunities for graduates in this field are very wide including metal and non-metal manufacturing industry, quality control, research (R & D), consultancy and education.

Thus, the career in the field of Mechanical and Materials Engineering is wide open covering all sectors-public, statutory and private sector. This covers the automotive, manufacturing, processing, research and development, service and consultancy, petroleum and petrochemical industry, electronic and semi-conductor as well as the aerospace industry. In moving towards an industrialised nation, the role of a Materials Engineer will be very important especially in producing advanced material.
