Materials – Interesting discipline

What is material engineering?

Materials engineering is an industry that involves a lot of mechanical knowledge, so it is necessary to have a passion for the mechanics and materials industry.

Materials engineering also requires a solid foundation of knowledge in math, physics, and chemistry to understand structures and build related principle models.

Material engineering includes which industries?

Materials Engineering Engineers are trained in a broad industry orientation. Materials Engineering Engineer is equipped with the basic knowledge and scientific basis of Material Engineering to be able to understand the common background of major groups of materials such as Metals, Ceramic, Polymers, Composites and other Advanced materials such as semiconductor materials, superconducting materials, biomedical materials, nanomaterials … from which it is possible to grasp the relationship between the structure and properties of materials. This is the scientific foundation that a Materials Engineering Engineer should have.

In order for a qualified Material Engineering engineer to immediately meet the actual production needs, a large amount of specialized technical knowledge of the 3 areas of Metal Materials, Silicate materials, and Polymers begins. offered in semester 3 of the training process. These include technology subjects, experiments, subject projects, technical internships, graduate internships, and graduation dissertations.

In addition, the training program is very interested in meeting the needs of the labor market through optional specialized subjects. At a certain time, when a certain industry is in great demand for human resources, the Faculty will prioritize to choose the appropriate subjects for this industry so that graduates have enough specialized knowledge to immediately meet their real needs. export.

What do you do when you graduate from school?

After graduating from a Material Engineering Engineer, he has the ability to work in the following fields:

– In companies manufacturing and processing materials such as companies for rolling metals, ceramics, plastics, and rubber …

– In companies manufacturing materials and civil equipment, industrial equipment such as companies of mechanical engineering, ceramics, plastic …

– In Mechanical Companies that produce spare parts for industrial, agricultural and fishery equipment.

– In companies manufacturing structures, building materials, interior decoration materials.

– In the companies importing and exporting raw materials: metals, ceramics, plastics …

– In companies, material manufacturers and traders of foreign countries with branches and representative offices in Vietnam.

– In training and scientific research institutions such as the School, Institute of Materials Science and Engineering.

– In the Equipment Design Research and Technology Innovation Institutes and Research Institutes.

– In the Material Quality Control and Inspection Agencies such as Customs, Center for Standards, Metrology and Quality.

Materials engineering schools

The number of institutions currently training Materials Engineers across the country is small, including:

Thai Nguyen University of Industrial Technology
Hanoi University of Technology
Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology
Polytechnic University danang…

Department of Materials Engineering, Polytechnic University

Material Engineering at Hanoi University of Technology has a training program of 4 years for bachelor’s degree and 5 years for engineers. During 4 years of study, students are trained in broad disciplines, then study an additional year of narrower majors in non-ferrous metals or nano electronic materials, polymers …

Graduates of Hanoi University of Technology are not afraid to find jobs. In particular, the disciplines with less students are applying for better jobs. The Department of Materials Engineering, especially Metal Materials, in the country has very few training schools. The whole North only has Hanoi Polytechnic University with 100 targets per year, so job opportunities and competitiveness to find Earning scholarships to study abroad is no worse than other disciplines
