    Frequently Asked Questions about Material Science

    Material science refers to the properties of solid materials and how the structure and composition of a material determine its properties. It helps engineers improve and design products by testing and researching materials to determine how to manipulate them for best results. Material science affects every field that involves engineering, including electronics, telecommunications, ground transportation, medicine, energy, and aerospace, for example.‎

    It's important to learn material science in order to come up with new and innovative products. It is necessary for lowering costs of production and creating long-lasting products. Material science is also important to learn because it is part of engineering design and how different materials will perform in your project, helping you determine which to use.‎

    Any career in engineering will use material science. This is used in many areas of engineering but you can also become a material engineer. In these careers you will test and research different types of material in order to determine the best way to create a product. You will use your knowledge in the area to create new materials and find any possible product failure which helps to create better and innovative product designs.‎

    Online courses can help you learn about material science by giving you the knowledge you need to progress in the field. The courses offer a variety of levels to get you ready for the next step.
