About the Program
The major of material science and engineering is a discipline based on material science, chemistry and physics, systematically learning fundamental theory and experiment skill of material science and engineering and applying them to synthesizing, preparing, structure, performance and application of materials. The discipline is the outcome of combination of multiple disciplines, and is a kind of application science closely related to engineering technology. Materials are material basis for human’s survival and development. In the 1970s, human beings took information, material and energy as pillars of social civilization. In the 1980s, with emerging of hi-tech cluster, new material and information technology, and biology technology are used as marks of new technology revolution. In modern society, materials are a key composition of national economic building, national defense and people’s life.
Training Objective
The major trains compound high-quality science and technology talents with firm theory knowledge of material science and engineering, mastering frontier material R& D and characterization technology, with applied technology of English and computer and engaging in hi-tech material R& D and interdisciplinary work. The trained students are capable of researching the discipline and related fields, new material design and development, teaching and management, and have relatively powerful innovation awareness, team cooperation and leading capability. The graduates can engage in conventional material industrial production in the discipline, engage in design and research of new materials, new process and technology, can continue postgraduate study of material science and engineering, hi-tech discipline and inter-disciplines, and serve scientific research, development, teaching and management of enterprises, scientific research, college and government bodies.
About Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Founded in July 2013, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering has 22 full-time faculty members. The MSE department at SUSTC engages in a broad scope of advanced materials research, including energy materials, organic and inorganic electronics, sensors and actuators, biomaterials, polymer composites, nanomaterials, micro- and nanofabrication, as well as additive manufacturing. The development of the MSE program addresses three areas: the frontiers of materials research; the national strategic development plan in materials area; and the research and development needs of the local industries in the Pearl River Delta and Shenzhen municipality. The department strives to achieve a leading role in both knowledge discovery and technology transfer.
