Materials
Matierials engineering is physics and chemistry combined, with useful outcomes like heat-resistant items, UV-safe glass, scratch-free screens, and even substances that bind materials together like glue. Materials engineers figure out how to make a product last longer and cost less.
Have you ever thought about why human history has been defined by the materials used at the time? The Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age? If you think about it, you literally cannot make anything without materials — which makes materials critical to all disciplines of engineering
