the fields for which a materials engineer can specialise in include: metallurgy, polymers, corrosion, technical textiles, nanomaterials and biomaterials.
or you could do multiple?
what do you guys recon would be the most in demand?
i think nanomaterials would not be much use as we havent advanced to that level yet.
the use composites in engineering are increasing so polymers and technical textiles would be more in demand in the future.
corrosion and metallurgy are also a good choice.
