Graduate
qualifications
Graduates have thorough knowledge and skills in basic disciplines of
technical sciences, materials science, modern manufacturing
technologies, processing and recycling of engineering materials, as
well as methods of studying and shaping their structure, and examining
mechanical and physicochemical properties. They know how to select and
use materials, predict and increase the durability of products, taking
into account computer-aided materials engineering, and refine materials
through the use of modern volume and surface processing technologies.
Graduates of the Materials Engineering course are prepared to undertake
versatile engineering, business and scientific/research activities
directly in the production, processing and improvement of various types
of metal, ceramic, polymer and composite materials. They find
employment in production departments of large plants, quality assurance
departments, research and development departments, design offices as
well as in small and medium-sized manufacturing companies, research and
technical consulting enterprises, as well as in companies dealing with
the transfer of materials and technologies.
