Minor in Materials Science and Engineering

Overview

Aims of Minor

This minor aims to provide students in other disciplines with basic understanding and techniques in the properties and processing of engineering materials. The students may also acquire more in-depth knowledge in areas relevant to their major curriculum through the elective courses.

Intended Learning Outcomes of Minor (MINILOs)

Upon successful completion of this minor, students should be able to:

1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering appropriate to the materials engineering.
2. Conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data relevant to materials engineering.
3. Understand the impact of engineering materials in a global and societal context, especially the importance of health, safety and environmental considerations for both workers and the general public.
4. Use the techniques, skills necessary for engineering practice appropriate to materials engineering.
