ENGINEERING: MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING BAY CAMPUS
OVERALL SATISFACTION (National Student Survey 2021) IN THE UK 2 ND
Material Science and Engineering is at the heart of many of the more well known engineering, science, and design subjects. Material science explores how the structure of a material at the micro, or even atomic scale can influence the final properties of a product or component and how materials respond to external influences such as mechanical loading or environment.
