Materials Science andEngineering at UNSW
The School of Materials Scienceand Engineering at UNSW is an
internationally renowned educatorand researcher. With more than 50years experience and a prestigiousheritage, our School is lookingto the future with award winningacademic staff, leading programsof study and research, and a driveto innovate for a technologically
advanced and environmentallysustainable future for both businessand society.
What Is MaterialsScience?Materials Science is the underlying
science of high-performance materials
including composites, electronic materials,nano-materials and biomaterials, metals,
ceramics, and plastics. It is the science
of developing advanced materials,
engineering new applications, customising
innovative processing techniques and
predicting material performance. It
examines why materials behave the way
they do, and how materials react in
different situations. The study of materials
science is intrinsically multidisciplinary with
strong connections to physics, chemistry,
biology, medicine and engineering.
Materials scientists are involved in every
aspect of technology, ranging from the
design of materials appropriate for use
in integrated circuits and biological
applications, through to those materialsneeded for conventional and green
energy generation.
Our degrees foster the development
of key analytical skills through real world
application. We are extremely well
equipped with a wide range of advanced
computing, thermal analysis, mechanical
testing, X-ray and optical and electron
microscopy facilities.
By joining our School, you can improve
sustainability and boost competitiveness
for Australian and global industries,
whilst addressing topical environmental,
economic and social issues. Projects
being undertaken to develop sustainable
processes for materials production aim to
minimise pollution, waste and energyconsumption, increase recyclability and
add value to ‘waste’ materials.
Our School’s ongoing research has earned
it an international reputation as a source of
creativity, innovation and commercialisation.
Advanced materials, nanotechnology,
biomaterials, microelectronics and materials
for energy conversion can provide a
major competitive advantage in virtually
every part of a nation’s manufacturing
industry. For mineral rich nations, materials
science is a priority area for research
and development. Recent signicant
developments include the emergence of
environmentally friendly and economical
metal processing methods, advanced
surface coatings, electrical andbioceramics, biodegradeable polymers,
materials for energy conversion and
nanotechnology.
The major areas are:
Metallurgy, which underlies our most
widely used engineering materials, including
aluminum, steel and copper. It includes: ore
renement, the chemistry of alloys, processing
and manufacturing of engineered products,sustainable processes, material selection and
performance analysis.
Ceramics, including bioceramics, magnetic
materials, solid-state electronics, nuclear
materials and super-conductors can be bricks,
tiles, glass, pottery and refractories. Knowledge
of the structure, properties and processing of
ceramics enables the creation of custom made
engineering materials of outstanding strength.
Plastics and Composites are engineered
polymers and tailored combinations of materials
that are revolutionising the world of materials
and replacing traditional materials.
Studying MaterialsScience at UNSW
Our goal is to equip our students toparticipate in the technological revolution
that is transforming the world we live in.
Our students acquire the skills and
experience to develop new products and
technologies that will make our lives safer,
more convenient, more prosperous and
more sustainable.
The integration and breadth of lectures,practical work and research components
in our courses provide a strong foundation
in the principles and application of science
to allow advanced levels of specialisation
and the opportunity to be involved in
cutting-edge research in later years. Our
extensive network of links with industry
gives our students the opportunity
to develop valuable relationships with Australia’s vibrant materials engineering
enterprises.

David TrinhBE (Materials Science and Engineering)
The structured way of problem solving
is, I would say, the aspect of the degreewhich has helped me the most in the
years since I left the School… highlights
of studying at the School must be
the camaraderie amongst the students,
academics and research staff and this
is only possible through the small size
of the school… my exchange placement
in Sweden was also another highlight,
which allowed me to explore theworld outside Australia and to observe
engineering in other cultures. (Former
Co-op Scholarship holder, David
completed a PhD at Linköping Universitet
in Sweden working on a project with
Sandvik Tooling.)
A Student’s perspective
Saul GriffithBE (Materials Science and Engineering)
I always liked making things, from art
to woodwork to strange toys, and I feltMaterials Science was a good place to
go to learn about making stuff. I also
realised that Science would provide me
the opportunity to innovate. I was also
offered a Co-op scholarship, and had the
opportunity to study overseas for part
of my degree. I felt the Materials Science
degree was an excellent choice …
Materials Science gives you insight intothe problems in many areas of
Engineering and Science, from biology
to semiconductor physics. It is all
about structure and function and their
inter-relationship.$30,000 Lemelson-MIT
