Engineered materials will certainly play an important role in enabling these solutions, and the workshop participants considered it important to introduce materials science and engineering concepts into K-12 curricula to educate both the next generation of scientists and engineers as well as to make the next generation materials science literate
A scientist just like me Material science is about discovering why different materials behave the way they do, why we make something out of one material rather than another and why materials wear out I sometimes deliberately break things by putting them through too much heat or current and then look at the cracks under powerful microscopes
A materials scientist has to consider four ‘intertwined’ concepts, which are schematically shown as the ‘Materials Tetrahedron’ When a certain performance is expected from a component (and hence the material constituting the same), the ‘expectation’ is put forth as a set of properties
