材料工程，其实也可以称之为是材料科学与工程，这是一个跨学科领域，研究内容主要包括物质的性质以及在各个科学，工程领域的实际应用。再详细一点说，它是研究材料制备，加工工艺，材料微观结构以及材料宏观性能这三者之间关系的学科，涉及到的理论知识有很多，比如应用物理和化学，固体物理学，化学工程，土木工程，机械工程以及电气工程等等。随着社会的不断发展，近几年，人们也将注意力都集中在了纳米科学以及纳米技术方面。
材料工程课程设置
材料工程所涉及到的课程主要包括复合材料力学，统计学，微观力学，应力分析，固体波与衍射，结晶固体的不完善，工程力学，透射电子显微镜，工程制图，微积分，物理学。
材料工程专业就业情况
工程类学科，无论是材料工程还是其他专业，在国内甚至在国外，就业前景都是非常好的，就目前情况来看，学生们可以从事纺织制造或及化学工程领域的工作，可以当化学工程师，也可以就这一领域继续学习和深造，成为一名优秀的化学家。
