Materials Science and Engineering, a brief introduction: Materials Science and

Engineering is one of the most important, lucrative and utility subject of modern science.
Nowadays, the subject is considered as the barometer of the development of a country.
Materials Science and Engineering deals with the processing, designing, characterizing the
materials, developing new materials, producing cost effective materials and application of the
materials useful in structures, machines and devices of technological importance and includes
metals, ceramics, alloys, composites, polymers, textiles, biomaterials, etc. From a simple
hammer to complicated units of a computer, from the materials of a cart to most sophisticated
components of a space craft; biological, biochemical and pharmaceutical products and
medical instruments, all have resulted from proper study and research on materials science
and its application. Therefore, materials science has emerged as a separate discipline out of
chemistry, physics and engineering, some fifty years ago. Considering the importance of
materials education and research in a developing country like Bangladesh the Department of
Materials Science and Engineering has recently been established at the University of Rajshahi
as a unique Department in Bangladesh by its name, although there is a Department of this
type, naming Department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering at Bangladesh
University of Engineering and Technology.
The Department started functioning as the name of the Department of Materials Science
and Technology in a new discipline in 2004 in the Fourth Science building under the
Chairmanship of Dr. C. M. Mostofa (in deputation), a Professor of the Department of
Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, R.U. with a batch of 17 Honours students
admitted into the first year (Hons.) in the academic session 2003-2004. The present name, the
Department of Materials Science and Engineering has been functioning from 31st
December 2009. The former chairman (in deputation), Dr M Mozibur Rahman, Professor of
Physics R.U. reorganized the course curricula for engineering degree. At present the
Department offers four-year B.Sc. Engineering (Residual four-year B.Sc. honours courses are
also running parallel), one-year M.Sc., two-year M.Phil. and three-year Ph.D. courses.
Graduates with science or engineering background can apply for admission into M.Phil. and
Ph.D. programmes in materials science and engineering.
The present enrolment of students at the B.Sc. Honours level is about 80. At present there are
19 regular teaching staff, 1 officer and 10 supporting technical and office staff assisting
smooth running of the Department. A list of the Faculty members is given below:
