An engineering degree studied in two countries .
The Bachelor of Materials Engineering ( Honours ) is a four-year degree where you ’ ll study your first two years in Malaysia and your final years at our Clayton campus in Melbourne , Australia .
What is materials engineering ?
Materials engineering is all about making things stronger , lighter and more functional , yet sustainable and cost-effective . It underpins much of engineering – if we want to make things , we need to have materials with the right properties .
Whether it ’ s a lighter and stronger jet engine , a biodegradable tissue scaffold to grow organs from stem cells or new types of solar cells and batteries , materials are crucial to all aspects of engineering .
Materials engineers play a significant role in almost every industry imaginable , with their expertise needed in :
• the emerging fields of nanotechnology , biomedical materials , electronic materials , recycling and energy generation
• the development of lightweight metal alloys
• the use of materials for energy systems such as batteries and fuel cells
• functional materials made at the nanoscale , including the wonder-material ‘ graphene ’
• traditional industries such as metallurgy and mining
• failure analysis .
