The document discusses several topics related to materials science and engineering including alloy development, coating deposition, tribological assessment, electron microscopy characterization of materials, processing and characterization of photonic glasses, biomaterials development, and bioactive and catalytic surface studies. It also notes that the aerospace industry is a major employer for metallurgical engineers due to the extreme operating environments. Finally, it states that aluminum manufacturing plays a role in many everyday products from light posts to electronics.

1. Alloy development and
processing; apply deposition
of protective coatings;
tribological assessment of
surfaces; characterisation of
functional and structural
materials by electron
microscopy; processing and
characterisation of novel
photonic glasses;
development of biomaterials
and biomedical devices and
implants; bioactive and
catalytic surface studies.

2. First and foremost place for
metallurgical engineering
jobs is the aerospace
industry. This is a field
where modern day materials
scientists and engineers are
always sought after. Because
of the extreme environments
of operation, materials and
metallurgical engineers can
always find jobs in the
aerospace and defense
industry.

3. Do you wonder where
things come from? If you
don't, you should! From the
light post that illuminates
your street to the
semiconductors that keep
your electronics working,
there's a good chance very
much of what you come into
contact with in your day to
day life could be the result
of aluminum manufacturing.
