1. Introduction
1.1 Welcome Message from the Head of the Department
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the Department of Materials Science
and Engineering of University of Moratuwa. Materials engineering holds the key to
advances in many critical areas of high technology, from integrated circuits and chip
carriers to turbine engines and optical waveguides. The opportunities and challenges for
Materials Engineers are limitless. Materials engineers synthesis and process materials,
improve their properties, select materials, lower their processing cost and increase their
durability. They make steel stronger, ceramics tougher, composites less costly and
computer chips faster. In recent years an increased interest has been developed in
nano-science and nano-engineering and as a consequence, Materials Science and
Engineering has been propelled to the forefront in most world class Universities.
As you all aware, University of Moratuwa is the only university in Sri Lanka, which conducts
a B.Sc. Engineering degree program in the field of Materials Science and Engineering.
Each year about fifty students graduate after completing the four year degree course.
Our degree programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka and it is an
accepted qualification to become a Charted Engineer and also for registration as a
Professional Engineer. Materials Engineers graduated from our university have found
employment in many industrial organizations in both government and private sector.
Many of them are serving in the middle and upper management levels which involve
production and processing, research and development, planning, quality control, etc. A
considerable number is also found to be working in foreign countries on research and
development of advanced materials.
Materials Science and Engineering curriculum is regularly updated with continuous

feedback from students, alumni, industry and employers giving flexibility, diversity and
relevance in allowing students to select areas that are in the forefront of technology.
Highly qualified staff members of the department are committed to provide high quality
and dedicated education in Materials Science and Engineering and open opportunities
for productive and rewarding careers.

other relevant activities in Materials Science and Engineering.
1.3 Mission Statement of the Department
To be a centre of excellence in Materials Science & Engineering by providing opportunity

 for undergraduates and postgraduates to acquire specialized knowledge on the
development and processing of engineering materials with attention to
economic and environmental aspects while studying design, management and
information technology
 to conduct high-quality research to cater for national development
 to provide consultancy services to the public and private sector in specific and
society in general
1.4 Why Study Materials Science and Engineering?
Engineering Materials hold the key to the Future of Engineering!
There is no irony in saying that a modern Airbus uses the same principles of flight as the
Wright Flyer invented in 1903. However the first Wright Flyer barely carried the pilot and
flew about 250m at a speed of 16km/h while an Airbus today carries nearly 550 people at
speeds over 900km/h and has a range of about 15000km and it flies with infinitely more
safety and comfort. Such performances would not have been possible if not for the
specially developed high performance polymer composites, new high strength
lightweight alloys and the state of the art electronics running on electro ceramics and
semiconductor materials.
The story of the motorcar is no different. Karl Benz's motor car invented in 1886 runs on the
same principle as a modern-day motorcar but it generated only 0.8 hp though a 960 cc
engine while an engine of similar capacity now develops over 60hp. The safety, comfort
and speed of the modern-day car are almost incomparable with those that featured in
the 1886 Benz. Here again, high strength lightweight alloys, polymers, composites,
advanced ceramics and semiconductor materials had made all the difference.
The story of engineering in the last fifty years has been directed by the materials scientists
and engineers around the world. Almost all recent technological advances had been a
result of a development in materials science and engineering. Anti-staining coatings,
flexible electronic displays, Magnetic fluid speakers are some such inventions.
Materials Science and engineering is a specialty in which the structure-property

relationship of materials is studied and modeled in order to gain a good understanding
about them. This knowledge is used to improve their performance and to develop new
customized materials. The realm of study in this specialty also includes development of
material processing methods and designing of materials processing tools.

1.5 Career Opportunities
A career in materials science and engineering involves a very broad scope of work
ranging from managing and developing production processes to conducting research
and developing materials, including investigating component failures and designing
engineering items and processing tools. The opportunities to perform the above may be
found in diverse fields of engineering such as the ceramic, polymer and metal
manufacturing, or at institutions of research and development. As per the past graduate
records, nearly a half the graduates have found employment in ceramic, metal or
polymer-related industries and a significant portion of the remainder are employed in the
construction sector. A few are employed in research institutions while a considerable
number of graduates are employed overseas, most of them having completed
postgraduate studies. The department of materials science and engineering has a 100%
employability record of its graduates within a year of passing out and depending on the
individual skills; the starting salary of a graduate is generally above the average.
2. The Department
2.1 History
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is presently the only academic
body in Sri Lanka offering an undergraduate study programme in materials science and
engineering. It began as Department of Materials Science, a division of School of Applied
Science, which was established in April 1974 with the assistance of British Government
under a link-arrangement between the University of Moratuwa and University of Leeds. In
January 1981, the name of the department was changed to Department of Materials
Engineering as it was absorbed into the Faculty of Engineering. The student intake was
raised to ten from its initial figure of five. More Mechanical Engineering subjects were
introduced into the curriculum and the students were given the option to select either
the Materials Engineering course or the Materials Engineering with Mechanical
Engineering bias course. Later in 1984 and in 1992, the curriculum was revised so as to
provide a more balanced course on the three main categories of engineering materials;
metals, ceramics and polymers. The intake of students was further increased to twenty in
1992. The curriculum was again revised in 2000 with the introduction of semester system of
education in the university. Simultaneously a minor specialization in polymer engineering
was started and the student intake was increased to its present figure of fifty. In June 2009
the name of the department was changed to its present name viz Department of
Materials Science and Engineering.
2.2 Organization and Administration
Activities relating to organization and administration are handled by the Head of

department with the assistance of staff members who have been assigned specific
responsibilities. The academic coordinators organize practical work, industrial visits,
projects, industrial training assessment, examination related records, etc. and attend to
matters of students. The activities of the laboratories are supervised by the lecturers in
charge of the respective laboratories and the technical officers are responsible for
smooth functioning of the activities of their laboratories.
