The extended knowledge of metal material engineering is as follows:
Among all kinds of materials (metal materials, ceramic materials, polymer materials and composite materials), metal materials are widely used, and the pillar industries of the country involve a large number of metals (such as steel mills, the development of high-speed rail, building materials (such as bird's nest) and various bridges).
In addition, the country is developing its economy, and the consumption of metals can only increase rather than decrease. The demand for new metals is growing and urgent. For many reasons, the employment prospect of metal material engineering will be very good.
For example, there are many steel mills, various metal research institutes, various metal processing entities, various heat treatment processes, and various enterprises (such as nuclear power plants and thermal power plants) closely related to the quality of metal equipment. In short, the employment prospects are good.
For domestic ordinary metal materials, the processing technology is basically the latest, while for industry, it is mainly how to realize industrial automation to save energy as much as possible. The development of special metal materials, especially senior engineers and technicians for research, is still very scarce.
For example, the development of aerospace materials, a number of composite materials, nano-materials, biomedical materials, environmental energy materials and intelligent materials. Most of these special materials are based on metal materials.
Although China's metal materials have become a big country in the world in terms of output, there is still a big gap between China and the world's advanced level in terms of production technology and quality. Therefore, we still need advanced talents in materials science and technology for some time to come.
The major of metal materials engineering ranks 46th among 203 engineering majors and 2nd among 13 materials majors. The average salary of this major is 60 18 yuan.
Among the graduates majoring in metal materials engineering, 80% found jobs before or just after graduation, and 20% found jobs after graduation 1 year. According to the score of 10, the fresh employment rate index of this major is 8.00, which is medium compared with other majors.
Cities with good employment prospects are: Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Ningbo, Suzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Wuhan.
