The global market and outsourcing has changed the skills required ofengineers.

By employing similar methodology the SEC requires students to spend a little bit longerfilling out the résumé drop form; these résumés can then be easily found by companies seeking aspecific set of characteristics in a candidate.SEC strives to enhance student development on a personal and professional level through variousactivities and projects.

Many universities offer graduatelevel courses on materials science. These courses provide fundamental knowledge on thestructure, mechanics and physics behind advanced materials. The emphasis on these courses is“science”, not “engineering”. Students graduating with a materials science degree acquire theknowledge on the fundamentals of materials science and very little on materials engineering.
