Materials are everywhere, shaping the world we live in - from aeroplanes and smartphones to medical breakthroughs. Materials Science and Engineering is a fast-paced, innovative field for curious problem-solvers who want to make a real impact. Join our Taster Session to discover how you can help build the future.
Did you know that at any moment, around half a million people are flying through the air? The engines powering modern aircraft are incredible feats of engineering, built from materials that withstand extreme conditions over hundreds of flights. But how do these materials work and how can we make them even better?
As material scientists, our role is to understand how these materials work and how to improve the materials so they are optimised for specific applications.
In this session we will explore what Materials Science is, using the example of the turbine engine, finding out how it works, the materials properties required, the alloy design, and how structure all the way down to the atomic scale helps us control the materials properties. The session also includes a Q&A with our academic staff and current students.
Come along to our Taster Session and discover how Materials Science is shaping the future of aerospace and beyond!
