2. Pre-Requisites

It is expected that the student will have knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry from previous courses, knowledge of Materials Science and basic knowledge of manufacturing.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

Materials Engineering and Technology is a compulsory subject, taught in the sixth semester, common to the industrial branch. The engineer must know the principles of materials engineering and technology for his/her professional development.

The subject of Materials Engineering and Technology is directly linked to the subject of Materials Science, taught in the third semester, and complements other subjects such as Manufacturing and Design Technology, Calculation and Testing of Machines, etc.
