Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is a field that focuses on the design, development, production, and adaptation of engineering materials—including metal, ceramic, polymer, and composite materials—to meet the technical needs of various industries. These materials are created from natural or synthetic raw materials of inorganic or organic origin, ranging from the nano-scale to the macro-scale. The increasing needs of rapidly expanding sectors like the defense, energy, communication, automotive, and aviation industries have necessitated the development of new, high-performance, and cost-effective materials. In response to these developments, it has become essential to both improve the properties of traditional materials that have been developed throughout human history and to develop creative alternatives. Consequently, nano-scale material design and development have taken on a significant role for metallic, polymer, ceramic, and composite materials, paving the way for a substantial enrichment of engineering materials. This recent trend, which has given a new impetus to the field of "materials engineering," also shapes the curriculum of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering programs.
Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering was established in 2011 as the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and was renamed at the beginning of 2016.
Our department’s work primarily includes studies on metallic, ceramic, polymer, and composite materials. This framework gives an engineering education that heavily emphasizes the basic sciences. In this context, the design, synthesis, development, and production of semiconductors, energy materials, luminescence, biomedical materials, and nanomaterials stand out. The department offers opportunities for double majors and minors in other disciplines, while also encouraging its own students to participate in minor and double major programs in other fields (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering). Additionally, the department implements student exchange programs for undergraduate students through the EU and Erasmus programs and bilateral collaborations.
