Why do we study Materials Engineering?
Pakistan has entered into an era of specialized hi-tech materials after surmounting over the classical “steel mill metallurgy” and has started to produce various types of luxury cars, buses, heavy duty trucks, split air-conditioners, power plants, ships and oil-rigs, missiles, sub marines, fighter planes, tanks etc. all of which demand for specialised materials in addition to the conventional materials. There is an emerging national demand of new advanced materials that can only be fulfilled by producing materials engineers.
