Materials Science
Materials technology begins with the production of goods from raw materials which are used in engineering, to the processing of those materials into ways that can be used for specific functions.
Materials is the umbrella term for useful products like metals, plastics and ceramics, which typically have completely different properties, meaning knowing how to make and use them requires a range of skills.
