Program Description
The Discipline of Materials Science and Engineering studies the composition, structure, preparation process, properties and applications of materials. The research objects include the theory, design, preparation, testing and application of electrical, magnetic, acoustic, optical, thermal, mechanical and biological functional materials. The research process involves the acquisition, transformation, storage, processing and control of materials information. UESTC is the first batch selected into the national project of First-class Universities and Disciplines of the World. Research and development of electronic information materials and application are characteristics and advantages of UESTC. The discipline of Materials Science and Engineering has strong academic faculties, which include Yangtze River Scholars, National Thousand Talents Plan Scholars, doctoral supervisor, professors, associate professors, and a number of Ph.D talents, advanced experimental facilities and plenty of research funds.
With the development of science and technology, the discipline of Materials Science and Engineering has become more and more closely interdisciplinary with other disciplines. At the same time, as an important pillar of modern civilization, the discipline has become the forerunner and foundation of the development of modern science and technology, and has a very close relationship with the development of contemporary society.
