This called for demand for more material engineers who will be involved in the research, design and development of new, better, sustainable and cost effective materials for use in industries: be it pharmaceutical, aerospace, marine, petrochemical and so on. Material Engineers work on all forms of materials (metals, ceramics, polymers and composites) and will work directly as Design Engineers, Metallurgist, Products Development Engineers, Technical Sale Engineers, Research Scientists and more, actively involve in the selection of raw materials to the selling of final products.
Studying BEngTech Material Engineering at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) equipped students with basic skills and knowledge needed to take up any challenging job in the area of the discipline which lasted a duration of three (3) years and accredited by Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA).
