On behalf of all the staffs and students of our Course, I would like to welcome you to our homepage. Going back to 1942, our Course was born as the sixth department of Engineering School. Till now, the name of the Department was changed five times, but most of the time period the Department was known as Metallurgical Engineering. It was in 1994 when the present name of Materials Engineering was given to the Department. The basic motivation behind this change is we have been expanding our research and educational activities from metals and alloys to ceramics and other materials, from structural to functional and advanced materials, from processing bulky materials to designing and controlling interfaces, which require synthesized knowledge of traditional metallurgy and modern materials science.
As of April in 2005, Course of Materials Engineering consists of eleven laboratories. Facing the fact that nearly 90% of the undergraduate students continue their studies in the Graduate school, our curriculum is designed as 6 years program. Most of the graduate students with Master of Engineering degree are offered the jobs in various industrial companies such as a steel company, an automobile company, an electronic industry etc. without any difficulties.
In order to contribute to developing a further better society and to the happiness of mankind, we would like to earnestly continue our efforts of educating students and of carrying out active research works. We, the staffs of Materials Engineering Course, welcome enthusiastic young people to participate in the renovation of materials technology. Join us to change the world and to change yourself.
