Engineering Materials Science and Nanoengineering

AI Thread Summary
Metallurgical engineering offers broad career opportunities beyond academia, with applications in various industries. In contrast, a bachelor's degree in nanoengineering also presents diverse job prospects, particularly in sectors utilizing nanotechnology. This technology is increasingly integrated into everyday products, including metals, polymers, ceramics, and biomaterials, and is essential in creating high-tech materials and microscopic devices. Current applications of nanotechnology include manufacturing clothing, cosmetics, and food packaging, as well as components for electronic devices like DVDs and CDs. Looking ahead, nanotechnology is poised to play a significant role in developing new medicines and pharmaceuticals. The discussion also touches on the importance of considering the country of study, particularly the US, for educational opportunities in these fields.

  • We are using nanotechnology products in our daily life. Nanotechnology is used in the manufacture of the number of products that we are used in our daily life.
  • Nanotechnology products are used in metals, polymers, ceramics, and biomaterials. Nanotechnology is used in the production of high-tech materials or microscopic devices.
  • Nanotechnology is used in the manufacture of clothes, sunglasses, cosmetics, etc. Silver nanoparticles are used in food packaging and household appliances.
  • Nanosize components are used in DVD and CD players.
  • In future nanotechnology might be used in developing new medicines and pharmaceuticals.
 
OP: What country are you planning to study in? US?
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
