Program of

Materials Science

Mission:

The Program of Materials Science is a unique Program of the Faculty of Science.

Its mission is driven from Assiut University’s mission as well as the mission of the

Faculty of Science. The Program is established to be a top of the line Program in terms

of its educational, research and community services. The Program aims to prepare

compatible graduates to join the job market with knowledge, skills and attitude needed

to succeed in the field of science and technology of materials.

Vision:

To achieve the adopted mission, the Program’s vision for the future depends on

the following principles:

• The Program is committed to provide high quality- state of the art- educational

program.

• Stakeholders’ problem based graduate studies and research work should be always

the department in focus target.

• The Program will adopt and update high academic standards for education,

research, and community services.

• The Program will adopt the concept of maximizing the benefit of its resources.

• The Program will always recognize, implement, and propagate the concepts of

cooperation, devotion and pride as its main values that should be implanted in the

souls and minds of its graduates and personnel.

• The Program will always take all necessary measures for continuous development of

its resources whether physical, staff, assistants, or students.

Objectives:

To carry out the mission stated herein, in coherent with our vision, the following

strategic goals are meant to be achieved:

• To provide high quality undergraduate program in Science and Technology of

Materials and their applications;

• To offer superior post graduate programs in professional fields that respond to

the needs of Egypt, as well as to the needs of the Arab region and Africa;

• To engage in research that advance learning and provide solutions of

stakeholders problems;

• To cooperate with industrial and governmental institutions to transfer knowledge

in science and technology;

• To offer continuing education and training programs aiming at personnel

enrichment, professional upgrading, and career advancement for graduate of the

collge and other similar educational institutes; and

• To make available to national communities and public agencies the expertise of

the college in a consistent manner with the primary teaching and research

functions and contribute to social, intellectual, and economic development in

Egypt, Arab region and Africa.

Program of

Materials Science

Invention is often born of the need, or just the desire, to improve something. This

simple statement is the driving force behind the development of the technical education.

Science and technology of materials and their applications play an important roles in

our modern live. More advance in our daily life is possible only if a procedure exists for

making a rational choice and uses of materials. In the past, one material (e.g., steel) or a

class of materials (e.g., metals) might have been all an technologist would have needed to

consider for a particular application. But now different classes of materials compete for

consideration, in order that a manufactured part or assembly be as inexpensive, or as

light, or as long-lasting as possible, to name just a few factors that might have to be

taken into account.

The Role of Materials Science Technologists The major factor that enhances development is the degree of advancement of

Science and Technology of Materials and their applications. Technologists are builders,

doers, and decision makers. Today’s material science technologists are those who

understand the design/make/inspect/selection/ manufacturing/manage/use of the wide

spectrum of ordinary, well know, and advanced materials. Those technologists combine

the abilities of science and technology of materials. They draw upon the knowledge of

mathematics, physics and applied sciences combined with materials sciences to function

as problem solvers, innovators, designers, productions and materials selectors. Material

Science Technologists practice in all phases of manufacturing industries, service

industries and government agencies. Faculties, researchers, and consultants who are

well acquainted with the multiplicity of issues that govern the science and technology of

materials for industrial applications. The background, experience and training of

material science specialists give them wide acquaintance with science and technology of

materials and their application problems.

Admission Requirements The students are admitted to the Faculty of Science on the basis of their general

secondary school certificate record (or its equivalent). Applicants must not be more than

22 years of age at the time of enrollment. Transfer applications from accredited

universities, academies and community colleges are accepted by the Assiut University.

Equivalent courses are accredited as transfer hours if the student’s academic standing is

not less than (2.0).

Degree Offered and Graduation Requirements

The program offers the degree of Bachelor of Materials Science. The candidate

for the (B.Sc.) degree is required to pursue scholastic quality and complete a plan of

study prepared with his academic advisor and approved by Materials Science

department council. The number of credit hours required for graduation is 136 (cr. hr.)

spreading over 8 academic semesters.
