Plan Outline

This plan is for a major in Materials Engineering within the program 3138.

The Materials Engineering plan provides a versatile, comprehensive coverage of areas involving:
  • the conception and application of properties of materials for use in engineering, structural and specialty needs necessary in the design and development of specific components
  • supervision of manufacturing
  • evaluation and certification of specifications and characteristics
  • production of new, novel and value-added products
  • research
  • general engineering and project management

Plan Structure

The range of Professional Electives and selection of Technical Electives in years 3 and 4 provide a direction appropriate to the needs of the Australian Industry, and to the specific interests of students, together with a degree of flexibility if required. Typical fields which may be encompassed by the plan include steel and non-ferrous metals/alloys production, polymers and composites industry, building materials, civil engineering applications, transport, electrical/electronic industry, biomaterials/biodevices, Australian defence needs: Army, Navy, Airforce, plus the national research laboratories. Due emphasis is placed on collaborating with other appropriate fields of engineering and science disciplines.

Materials Engineering Professional Electives:
  • NOTE: MATSxxxx is a compulsory elective for this plan.
