As a materials engineer, you develop, test, and process new materials. You may create new types of plastic, metal, or ceramic materials for use in various applications. You work with nanomaterials and other unusual substances to create products that meet specific chemical, electrical, or mechanical requirements. Depending on the company's needs and the status of a material's development, you typically work in a laboratory or an office setting. Many potential materials are modeled on computers before attempting manufacture, so familiarity with design software is paramount.
| Aspect | Materials Engineer | Mechanical Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Bachelor's in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or related field; often includes certifications like ASM certifications | Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; PE license may be preferred |
| Work Environment | Research labs, manufacturing plants, quality control | Design offices, manufacturing facilities, testing labs |
| Industry Usage | Materials development, failure analysis, quality assurance | Product design, systems, and machinery development |
Materials Engineers focus on developing and testing materials used in products, while Mechanical Engineers design and analyze mechanical systems. Both roles often collaborate but serve different core functions within manufacturing and product development industries.
