Average growth
|
|
About half of all materials engineers work in manufacturing industries, where they develop and create new materials and manufacturing processes. Developing new materials or improving existing ones often requires collaboration with various engineering disciplines, such as mechanical, electrical, and chemical. As demand continues to increase for materials use, demand for employment also will increase. A greater focus on environmental sustainability also may create demand for materials engineers.
