Materials Engineering studies materials, from their atomic structure and properties to their large-scale production and recycling. A materials engineer analyzes and develops materials with a view to their application in the metallurgical and metalworking industry, polymers, ceramics, and glass industries. These professionals also work in certification and quality assurance and in the development of advanced biomaterials and materials, also contributing to electronics.
Materials Engineering aims to obtain products, including their design and project, based on the basic knowledge of Materials Science that establish the relationships between the chemical composition, structure, properties and processing of the various classes of materials (metals, ceramics, polymers and composites).
The objective of the 2nd cycle (Master) in Materials Engineering is the application of basic knowledge of Materials Science to the development of products, training engineers with competence and skills to design and integrate knowledge in the field of Materials. The course enables the training of engineers with a broad spectrum profile of knowledge in Materials science, technology and engineering, allowing them to easily access and perform the labor market in the various areas of Materials Engineering, both at national and international levels.
