The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is ranked among the top in Materials Engineering category in KP and the third best in Pakistan with respect to the quality of research and excellence in teaching in recent HEC survey. Since its birth, there have been enriched contributions by local and foreign expertise which played a key role to its evolution into one of rapidly emerging departments in the country. Since then a number of Masters and PhDs have benefitted from its facilities and have established successful careers in research and academia.
Currently, the Department offers the following graduate degree programs:
The mission of the department of materials science and engineering is to develop and disseminate the understanding of structure, property, processing and performance of materials so that our graduates can excel in academia, research, business and industry.
The graduate program in Materials Engineering consists of lectures and hands-on research training emphasizing underlying principles and their engineering applications. A number of core and elective courses are offered as per the graduate approved degree plan leading them to earn a Masters (MS) or Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in their respective fields of specialization.
The Graduate Programs offers to pursue research in the following thrust areas:
(i) Phase transformations in materials
(ii) Advanced processing and characterization of materials
(iii) Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology
(iv) Composite materials and Nanocomposites
(V) Surface engineering and coating technology
(vi) Corrosion and oxidation
(vii) Biomaterials
(viii) Superalloys and High Temperature Materials
(ix) Failure Analysis
