Who are Materials Scientists and Engineers?

Materials science and engineering (MSE), includes the research, design, and production of all materials used on various applications such as electronics, construction, agriculture machines, and space technologies. Materials scientists focus on the structure-property relations of the materials, while materials engineers focus on the design and production of the material with regard to the structure-property relations. Process, structure, property, and performance are the components of materials science and engineering.

What are job oppurtinities for Materials Scientists and Engineers?

MSE students do their internships at the end of their second and third terms. Our students can participate in the research activites of the companies located at İzmir Technology Development Area (Teknopark) in IZTECH or work at companies such as Akdeniz Kimya, NEMAK, Norm Cıvata, Çukurova Kimya, Kanat Boya, Dyo, Vestel, and BMC during their internsips.

The majority of researchers who have their master’s degree from the IZTECH MSE Department continued their doctoral studies, and are working at prestigious universities as researchers. Furthermore, those continued their careers on the private sector are usually hired by the R&D Departments of the companies.
