10 Materials Science and Engineering Jobs and Salaries

[@Lucid874]

I'm looking for a career/job where I can use calculations, mechanics of solids, 3D modeling (such as CAD, ANSYS, or AutoCAD, etc.) to help with a meaningful project where I can see tangible results. Whether that be through buildings or bridges, or even aircrafts. Are there jobs out there that I can get that are like this an MSE? And if so, what are some examples?

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

Yes, I’ve seen MSEs in roles such as Failure Analysis Engineer, Fatigue Engineer, or Design Engineer which all utilize those skills and tools. Other roles that MSEs often end up in that use CAD are Process Engineer and Manufacturing Engineer. The responsibilities/skills you’re seeking also align with Mechanical Engineering, so that may be something to look into as well. Hope that helps!

I am a chemical engineer. Can i do masters in material science and engineering. Is it relevant to my previous course??

[@neeravvishal4322]

Is B.tech in material engineering worth it,are the jobs aspect same in it too?

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

I would say the job prospects are the same, if not similar! The degrees (BS vs BE vs BTech) seem similar enough, although I’m not certain. I think a Bachelors degree in Materials Engineering is definitely worth it!

Is it possible to do Msc in material engineering as a textile engineer??

[@matteop3955]

Great video! Just a tip Please buy a pop filter to avoid that strong sound with p, also i don't know why but somethimes i can hear a strong static audio. Beyond that, great job!

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

Thanks for the feedback! I did have a pop filter and mic but we’ll make sure to keep improving audio quality moving forward!

Hello Sir!! I'm a MSE backgrounded student... I'm doing my BSc in MSE.... But I've a huge passion for programming... Is it possible for me to switch to CSE(Computer science and engineering) in MSc and PhD program?

What are the chances that a company will sponsor an h1b visa for a materials engineer and he/she will make the cut ??

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

Hi Arnav! While I personally am not too familiar with the process, I found a website (search “TheDataMate” on Google) that seems helpful. This has an H1B visa probability calculator as well as a list of H1B Visa Sponsors. I think the chances of H1B visa sponsorship vary significantly depending on the company, but there are quite a few companies that sponsor H1B visas for materials engineers.

Will it be good to choose material science and engineering after graduation ??

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

Absolutely! It gives you a variety of career options to pursue as well as differentiation in the job market due to your unique perspective as a materials scientist/engineer.

@@itsamaterialworldpodcast is it tough course ? Can i relate it with petroleum Engineering as i have completed my B-Tech on petroleum Engineering

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

It’s a similar level of difficulty to other engineering courses! And the petroleum industry seems multi-disciplinary so I bet there are materials engineers and chemical engineers within that field along with several other backgrounds

[@triplea8196]

Please answer my question I am hoping a realistic and better reply from you. I am interested in mechanical or also in mechateonics engineering and I want to work as a mechanical engineer in automobile industry like BMW Tesla Mercedes but I got material science engineering based on my merit position now I don't understand that should I go through in MSE if like mechanical. And can I work in automobile industry with bachelor's in MSE as many people said that MSE career is research based I don't know 😞

[@abdulfattah2085]

Hi. I did my B.E. in Mechanical Engineering.. I find that my interest is in materials subject. Can I pursue masters in materials engineering for better job aspects? Is it worth to do?? Kindly give me a suggestion.

[@Hamza-vk6sc]

Hi thanks for this video. Can you recommending the lab for traineeship in Europe or America such as I'm in 2 second year in master Computational physics

[@Tinsae-m5z]

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.

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

I would assume you definitely can pursue a PhD in MSE with a Chemistry background. MSE often combines physics and chemistry but the balance of the two in a curriculum is dependent on your preferences and the courses you take and the research you conduct. I don’t think there are any restrictions based on your background but it’s up to you to convey why your Chemistry background will serve you well as an MSE in your PhD applications.

[@faisalkr]

what is Master of Science in Materials Science and Business Administration? Is it worth to study for better future?

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

Pursuing an MS in Materials Science and Engineering can be helpful to gain a deeper technical knowledge base in an area of interest and/or pursuing additional research experience to help differentiate you from Bachelor’s graduates in your job search. For an MBA (Master of Business Administration), you are typically gaining a more in-depth understanding of business, strategy, leadership, etc. As for if you should pursue it, it depends on what your long-term goals are. If you’d like to end up in an executive position at a company, an MBA is sometimes/oftentimes a prerequisite. For engineering management roles, an MBA definitely isn’t required (it won’t hurt, but it’s not required). I personally received my MS degree in Materials Science and Engineering but don’t currently plan on pursuing an MBA. Generally, an MS can act as 2 years of work experience so you can qualify for higher level roles after graduation (which generally means higher starting salary). Note: this is not always the case. Hope that helps!

Can we go into pharmaceutical industry or paper industry after BS in materials engineering

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

Definitely! We have peers who have studied materials science and engineering and have gone on to work in the paper industry or the pharmaceutical industry!

[@nomaan456]

@@itsamaterialworldpodcast Thanks I was so confuse I planned to go in chemical engineering but due to the cutoff my merit is falling in materials engineering so kind of confuse what careers I can persue... Because I have a pretty good interest in pharmaceutical

[@frankfopa8978]

Very insightful video

[@darkmage4050]

My main plan is research scientist but Would it be possible to pursue one of the engineering roles with a bsc in chemistry and msc in materials science ? Maybe potentially a phd in materials science and engineering ?

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

I would say yes! There are a lot of research focused roles that operate in wet labs, chemistry labs, etc. Chemistry can be a key component of a research scientist role so yes I would say that is possible. The only thing to note is that typically research scientist roles are offered to those with a PhD. It’s not impossible to get one with a Bachelor’s or Master’s (one of our MSE Academy members is a Research Scientist II with a Bachelor’s degree), but it’s something to keep in mind.

[@elishaaggrey7050]

I'm actually about reading this programme (Materials engineering) and I don't know anything about it.Is it a good programme??

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

I’d like to think so! Materials engineering as a whole is very versatile, and you can use your materials background to make an impact in any industry, including aerospace, semiconductors, medical devices, clothing, renewable energy, batteries, and more!

[@Blissful_knowledge]

Hi I would like to know about job opportunities for materials engineer in Australia. Could you please help me with that ? Thank you

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

I saw you set up a strategy call, so we’ll talk then! Looking forward to it.

[@maitichoyyuuqwerui]

Hi i did my bsc in physics and now I am doing msc in physics both from India. Am i eligible to do ms in material science from USA?

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

You definitely can apply for an MS in Materials Science and Engineering in the US! There’s no restrictions (at least as far as I know) based on your previous studies.

[@SaraJ78]

Which country is the best jobs opportunies for material engineer.Now i feel depress for chosing to be a material student bcs it is less opportunities to get a job in our country.

[@itsamaterialworldpodcast]

I would say the United States or various countries in Europe (UK, Germany, etc) have consistent job opportunities. Where are you located? Some countries/companies aren’t yet aware of the power of materials science and the value materials engineers can provide.
