I keep questioning why you're getting way less views than you should, because for me, this is so interesting and inspiring. I'm currently 16 y/o and have a dream to become an engineer someday, just don't know which branch i'd like to pursue my studies in. You're making it much clearer for me, thank you for providing us with such great content!
daan stam currently looking at mechanical and aerospace, maybe civil too. Soo hard to choose, since Sweden only offers one aerospace engineerings class at KTH, it's hard to be accepted.
İsmail Eken Hi, I'm almost 19 years old... should I go for Materials Science or Engineering??... I really don't know... I prefer the courses on MS but I also know engineering is more worth it, could you give me some pieces of advice?
Great video! As a MSE student, I just wanted to add that we also study optical properties of materials (through x-ray diffraction and other methods) to determine the physical or crystal structure of materials. Refractive indicies and photoconductivity are a few examples of optical properties we cover.
I am using this video in my high school Materials Science class. I feel that today's students don't really know what Material Engineering actually is and what it studies. The best part of the video for me is that it gives a brief overview of nearly everything that I teach in my course. I truly love teaching my Materials Science class and I really wish other public high schools would offer the course for their students. Thank-you for providing this informational video.
What a great video. I loved materials science courses that I took for civil, but that was just the beginning of this type of subject. One of my buddies ended up getting his PhD in Materials Engineers and now works to design airplane parts :) Great work man, keep it up, absolutely love the engineering community support videos. You rock!!
Right, well the two sync up quite nicely! Let me know what engineering student / career questions I can help you with. My channel and 1% Engineer community is all about support to young engineers. Cheers friend! Jake
I have a Bachelor's in Computer Systems Engineering (hardware), and I just submitted my thesis for my master's in Electronic Engineering. My thesis was focused on graphene-oxide, and I have to say that I believe that graphene and graphene-based materials are probably one of the most current interests in the fields of Material Science and Engineering. Even though we didn't study it that much, material science plays a very huge role in electronics, different material do have different properties and applications in electronics. The video is very informattive.
Materials science is arguable the most versatile field, great content and motivational for youngsters :)

Very good video. I'm studying Materials Engineering. I'm from Mexico and this career has a lot of potential. I recomend the book Callister Materials Science and Engineering And Introduction 8th Edition. I want to say that there are some classes more especific like microscopy, molecular simulation and related to modern physic like Solid state very useful to understand semiconductors, the basis of our actual technology.
I was actually so lost in class like why am I doing chemistry in engineering and this helped give me some clarification and peace of mind. Thank you Zach Star
I'd suggest finding a lab at a university or an industrial firm which works with nanomaterials. Graphene is the favourite, but also consider ZnO or MoS2. You've got lots of options. Personally, I work with gold nanoparticles and graphene. I can't say I've enjoyed anything else nearly as much.
how long does it take to get whatever degree is required to work on nanotechnology? how much math is involved? is the materials engineering industry in general healthy jobwise? do you know of any videos on youtube that give you a laymans introduction to the field? whatre the prospects for someone entering the field at the age of 30? answers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much! Like many others here, I'm a young person trying to find out what branch of engineering is best for me, and this video was the biggest help! Interesting, informative, easy to understand, and accessible. I can't thank you enough for these great videos!
I'm not sold on anything yet, but probably biomedical or materials... But I really like both aerospace and industrial as well (and electrical a bit too), not to mention I haven't really finished going over each branch. Man, I just think it's all cool, ha! I want to move onto medical school though, so I have to pick something I think I'll be able to keep my GPA really high with. That's mainly why I'm leaning toward biomedical. Materials is the most interesting to me but the job growth there is eh and I'd worry more about my GPA with that... so I gotta pick carefully. How about you man?
Both are great fields. Think about materials engineering with nanotechnology and 3D printing of organic and non-organic parts. Each engineering pathway is exciting right now. I would encourage you to start reaching out to professionals and professors in all of these fields and conduct informational interviews to learn more. Offer to get involved. Volunteer. You generally won't know what you like until you actually try stuff out :) I'd love to help you out more. Ask whatever you like, I'm an engineering student & career mentor. Cheers!
You read my mind, that's exactly what I'm thinking of. Nanotechnology is simply fascinating to me, and materials science feels like a great avenue to that. I'm also interested in anything that flies, and I know that another choice with materials science is to be involved in the manufacturing of airplanes. So materials science feels like a great way to be focused while keeping options open. :) That aside, I'll be taking your advice; I've spoken to a doctor about my career path to get an idea of what I want out of medicine, but I have only discovered my interest in engineering recently. As such, I haven't yet had the chance to connect with any engineers. I want to do that soon. Thanks for the advice, I checked out your channel and I'll be sure to follow that as well. I can use all the help I can get. :) If you know of any other resources or have any more advice for high schoolers looking for engineering/STEM related volunteer opportunities or for those trying to connect with those already in the engineering field, I'd love to know. Thank you so much!
good wow you explain well as one I seen in my life I am a student of aeronautical engineering 2nd year now and you almost give me much information about what i need thnx for help more and keep going
im interested in studying Material Engineering,but in my country it is a very underrated science,i want to know if this field has future and working chances in Europe
This was my dream...I'm currently in my 4th year of a CHEMICAL ENGINEERING degree... It was my only option at this school... Now instead I spent years studying pipes, pumps and flows... I hope I can still find a job in this field after I graduate with a ChE degree lol.
You are very strong man in teaching. Well done. I need a piece of advice from you if possible. I have an academic (Not engineering) bachelor of physics and Chemistry got in africa, after which I came for a master in materials sciences and engineering in China with specialization in polymer composites structural manufacturing (Big structures) . Now I am likely to do a phD still in China with another lab but in mechanical engineering with specialisation still in polymer composite structural manufacturing (Pressure vessels for hydrogen storage). My problem is my bachelor, actually while applying for some positions abroad after my master I have read very frustracting comments from schools about my bachelor while I was among the best. Indeed, the lack in my country of science teachers makes the deans to ask teachers to increase the difficulties in exams to remove as much students as possible from the system between the first and the fourth year, consequently even those who can move end with average marks between 10/20 to 14/20. Myself I am between 12/20 and 14/20. And I can tell you it is among the best. But for western countries some told me they want at least 15/20 of bachelor grades in basic subjects without even checking the master. I ended with the idea of doing another bachelor degree in mechanical engineering or materials after my phD. Because it seems like in engineering the most important is the bachelor. But I don't know if it is a good idea as I am dealing with scientific papers writing now and tell myself sometimes that my papers will cover me. But I want to enjoy also the high engineering salary in industries but very embarrassed by this bachelor. Please what can you suggest to me. If you think it is a good idea. Which one between mechanical and material engineering will be fine from your view.Thanks
My son is just entering HS in a tech engineering pathway and has been talking about material engineering for a year. This will really help him get a summary view of the subject. Thanks
if material engineering were a game. metals would be the regular enemies, there are many but no need to worry and composites would be the final boss comes out of nowhere and suddenly beats you up.
İsmail Eken Hi, I'm almost 19 years old... should I go for Materials Science or Engineering??... I really don't know... I prefer the courses on MS but I also know engineering is more worth it, could you give me some pieces of advice?
I am seriously considering applying for materials engineering given what the course entails, that said I don't know if the courses and career implications here in the Philippines align with those in the US. My amateur knowledge of things like the titanium in the SR-71, the ablative heat shield on re-entry vehicles, the composites used in armored vehicles, the advantages of stainless steel over carbon fiber in things like starship, and other things really got me into it. The applicability of physics and chemistry to these real-world technologies inspired me to dig deeper, but not being sure with what the journey is like so I've no idea if this is the path best suited to my capabilities.
You could go for a masters in the US, I'm from India and that's what a lot of people here tend to do. I'm in my 2nd year in mechanical engineering undergrad, but my ultimate dream is to work on aerospace applications. And currently I just got offered to work on an advanced Composite materials research project under one of my lab professors, so that's really exciting. And overall I feel that Materials Engineering might be the way to go for me, as it's applications in designing aircraft and spacecraft components are integral.
Your video is great..Just everything i need to know in greetings the subjects.. Im in electrical engineering and this give me a headache.. But now it seems fun because i know the applied cases.. thank you so much
İsmail Eken Hi, I'm almost 19 years old... should I go for Materials Science or Engineering??... I really don't know... I prefer the courses on MS but I also know engineering is more worth it, could you give me some pieces of advice?
@İsmail Eken thanks for your answer, in the end I got into Chemical/material engineering. Here in Italy in material science there is a lot more of chemistry and physics courses (also quantum stuff at the bachelor), while in engineering more mathematics/algebra, thermodynamic, ecc
I'm so proud of my Materials Science and Engineering Bachelors degree from the University of Arizona. I took a biomaterials class as an elective, which exposed me to implantable materials used for tissue regeneration and drug delivery. I ultimately received a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering. Both were wonderful experiences I wouldn't change for the world.
That's exactly what I'm thinking about doing because I'm changing my undergrad major from biomedical engineering to MATSE, and just get my PhD in biomedical engineering. But I'm afraid of making the wrong decision, because my ultimate goal is to do biomedical engineering related research or industry. I can't get into undergrad BME right now because the gpa requirement is too high. I'm stuck between choosing biochemistry & molecular biology or MATSE as a major. My primary interests are human biology, medicine, chemistry, biology but I also want a major where I won't be stuck doing just one thing. I believe that MATSE is more multidisciplinary than BMB so I'm not sure. If you have any advice to share I would greatly appreciate it!
Don't believe what he says about math. If you are an engineer, you might as well minor in math or physics because you'll probably only need 1 or 2 extra classes to get the minor
well in mechanical engineering i take materials science for 2 or 3 years + designing for 2 years + thermodynamics for 2 years+ math involving the 4 books of calculus and engineering analyses for 4 years + fluid dynamics for 2 years 🤦♀️💔 along with alot of alot of hydropower courses and dynamics and kinetics and turbomachines and the list goes on
I want to thank you for making these videos, but I have a question. If you could tell your 18 year old self everything you know now, what would you have majored in?
If I knew everything I know now when I was 18 I may have majored in physics simply because I love the subject so much. The difficulty for me with picking a major was I loved too many things and just couldn't decide. But at the same time I know I would need further education which I would not have wanted to pay for at the time. Definitely loved EE though but really enjoy physics (and math) as well and if I go to get my master's that's what I will probably do. Edit: I also would've minored in math
Great video, especially for people wanting to ingress or to change to engineering. Do you plan on making a video of metallurgical engineering ? Or maybe comparing material and metallurgical engineering ? It would be of immense help.
YellowRayquaza22 from what i've known, i would say that the main difference of material and metallurgy engineering is that metallurgy is more of a process engineering where they mainly study about processing raw materials into pure ones, but material engineering is more about studying how to make the pure materials rather useful and applicable bye combining them, or heating them, or many other processes.
The university I want to get my BS in Materials science and engineering at are given a nanomaterials concentration but on top you could choose different specialized sub fields like biomaterials, r&d for manufacturing, energy etc. It will be a lot of work but to say you have specialties for all of these sub fields will make you look far more valuable. I’m looking at taking my masters in Nanotechnology
Putin Vladimir Hey bud, how is it going? I'm currently studying Materials Engineering and I want to do some nanotechnology. The problem is that my university doesn't focus that much in nanotechnology. So I was thinking to change my career to Engineering Physics, they take courses of applications of quantum mechanics, so I think that career can lead my path to nanotech. Can you give some advice? Please. It would help me a lot. Thank you.
Spell Caster while that would be a good field, I’d probably stay with MSE and then perhaps apply for graduate school because even in a minor, you’re not going to get the juicy details from a bachelors. There aren’t many programs dedicated specifically for Nanotechnology here in the US. I believe the only ones are at extremely competitive universities like Stanford and University of Pennsylvania. Another field that could be of use would actually be Chemical and Bimolecular Engineering.
İsmail Eken Hi, I'm almost 19 years old... should I go for Materials Science or Engineering??... I really don't know... I prefer the courses on MS but I also know engineering is more worth it, could you give me some pieces of advice?
I mention that in the last 20 seconds of the video. Materials engineering and science have two different definitions, but in school it's most likely just be called "materials science and engineering" or just "materials engineering", they aren't two different majors.
@@zachstarQUSTION, If materials engineering design structures with certain properties then the engineer knows both of the structure and the properties which means there is no need to materials scientist , I don't get it, please explain
Is it recommended to study material engineering ? Or should i study common engineering course like mechanical engineering, civil engineering etc. Can you give me some advices.Thanks
Mechanical engineering definitely has more job opportunities and is so broad you can even go into materials based jobs. But if you REALLY want to do materials engineering then go for it. The guy I interviewed for this video had no problem getting an internship and a job right out of school in his field.
I am currently pursuing PhD in Materials Engineering with specialization in Surface Engineering for PEM fuel cell applications. I did my undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering. I am really worried about which field should I opt for my Post-Doc or as an academicians. I really want to apply my Materials Engineering knowledge in some core Chemical Engineering problems. Does continuing working in Electro-chemical Engineering going to solve my problem? Can Materials Engineering be used in Reaction Engineering or some other ChemEngg problems?
Hey man! Undergraduate here doing chem eng, I was wondering if you were happy doing chem eng before going into materials eng? I want to work on aerospace materials and was hoping doing an undergrad in chem eng before a masters in material eng was good. The reason why I haven't chose material as my undergrad is so that I can have a lot more options if I decide to switch fields. This way I can go into the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, etc. if I ever decide to do so. I would appreciate any feedback! Thank you.

Great information I'm pursuing my bachelor's in SCTLM and was wondering if material engineering would be a good master's degree to pursue. Thanks in advance.👍
its great video I am working on Not destructive taste NDT Inspection Field I am willing to get a Diploma materials engineering technology but I am not too good in Mat but a I will do my Best as I do on NDT training.I know its quite be a challenge I will do Effort for it.Thanks for Video.
@MajorPrep QUSTION, If materials engineering design structures with certain properties then the engineer knows both of the structure and the properties which means there is no need to materials scientist , I don't get it, please explain
Thank,s for intersting and informative video (-: I have one question !! Is their any website or app to descripe the proparity of the material you want ----> to list it for you. #thanks again .
Great video! What is the possibility to study PhD in materials science and engineering with chemistry background?? I’m almost done with my chemistry bachelors but idk if I need more physics and math background instead of chemistry.
Could someone tell me what about biological/organic materials. As someone who comes from natural sciences, and wants to make shift towards engineering, im interested to find out in which scientific discipline are they covered. Ist it perhaps biotech or something else?
