What is material science and engineering?

Answer 1

MSE is a field of Engineering - MSE stands for Materials Science and Engineering. The field encompasses the spectrum of materials: metals, ceramics, polymers (plastics), semiconductors, and combinations of materials called composites.

Materials Science and Engineering is concerned with the relation between the structure and properties of materials, factors which control the internal structure, and processes for altering the structure and properties. It brings together in a unified discipline the developments in physical Metallurgy, ceramics, and the physics and chemistry of solids.

Answer 2

material science is the exploration and research of different materials. research on things such as, density, elasticity, conductivity, or chemical compound. (to name a few)

material engineering is the application of material science to solve a problem or construct a material to solve a problem to improve someones something.

for example: if a company is looking for a high density metal object, but wants it to have low conductivity, then they would look to a material engineer for a design of a man made material that they could use.
