    Material science is an interdisciplinary field that studies the structure and properties of materials and how they can be applied. It plays an important role in engineering fields and infrastructure development. Material science deals with designing new materials and understanding how and why materials behave the way they do. Advances in materials science have driven progress in infrastructure development throughout history. Modern engineering relies on applying scientific understanding of materials to solve problems and develop new technologies.

    The Importance of Material science in Engineering and Infrastructure

    Development

    Materials play an important role in engineering and infrastructure development. Whether it is


    aerospace, mechanical, environmental or other engineering fields the makeup of substances is
    always a key factor which must be known. Material science is an interdisciplinary field which
    deals with the discovery and design of new materials. Though it is a relatively new scientific
    field that involves studying materials through the materials paradigm (synthesis, structure,
    properties and performance), its intellectual origins reach back to the emerging fields of
    chemistry, mineralogy and engineering during the Enlightenment. It incorporates elements of
    physic and chemistry, and is at the forefront. In recent years, materials science has become more
    widely known as a specific field of science and engineering. The concept of engineering has
    existed since ancient times as humans devised fundamental inventions. Engineering is the
    practical application of science and math to solve problems, and it is
    everywhere in the world around you. From the start to the end of each day,
    engineering technologies improve the ways that we communicate, work,
    travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves where as Infrastructure
    Development involves fundamental structures that are required for the
    functioning of a community & society. This is usually referred to structures
    like roads, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications,
    renewable energy, and so on. Indeed, material science and engineering is at
    the forefront of high Infrastructure Development for the simple reason that
    advancements Infrastructure Development are the direct result of advances
    in materials. The importance of materials science is not recent. We only have to look at the
    names of eras to realize that materials have been instrumental in the advance of civilization: the
    Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age. The field of materials science with respect to

    engineering is directed towards understanding why materials behave the way they do, how
    materials are made and how new materials with unique properties can be created. Engineering
    today has morphed from only dealing with the physical aspect of the field
    into the theory behind the field. All engineering fields have unique bonds
    with the materials in the world.
