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

5.2 Materials Engineering Societies
Society of Materials Engineering Students
This society was first formed in 1995 and has been operating within the department. All
undergraduate and postgraduate students of Materials Science and Engineering
become members of the society. The society organizes social events to collect funds to
the society and aim to establish a scholarship scheme to help the students with financial
hardships of the department. It also helps the students to improve their extracurricular
activities which are a vital component of university life, leadership abilities and
communication skills.
Institute of Materials Engineers
The formation of this society was initiated in 2003 by the undergraduate students and the
academic staff members of the department with the blessing of some industrialists and
academics. At the time the name of the society was Society of Materials Engineers. Then
it was registered as company limited by guarantee in 2009 under the present name. The
main purpose for forming this society was to provide a forum for the Materials Engineers in
Sri Lanka to get together and work to promote and popularize the field of Materials
Science and Engineering in Sri Lanka. The society offers three categories of memberships
namely honorary member, member and student member and a considerable number of
Material engineering graduates who are working in various capacities, industrialists and
students have already become members of the society. They organize their Annual
General Meeting every year.
