Our Mission
The Department of Materials Science & Engineering is committed to provide quality education through fundamental engineering knowledge and project-based learning. The department aims to prepare graduates having entrepreneurial acumen and professional skills to provide engineering solutions, by working closely with the relevant industries. About Department
The Department of Materials Science & Engineering (DMSE) was established in 2021 with a vision to Skill Pakistan. Materials are the foundation for social progress, for state security and for a strong national economy, therefore, materials-oriented research together with its educational level reflects the comprehensive strength of a country. Materials are the foundation of a wide range of industries and have been the driving force for technological development. To become a world class university in the 21st century, PAF-IAST has started materials research and materials education to a world-class level. The department is concerned not only in designing, making, and characterizing new materials but also in improving the existing materials to have a societal impact. The department offers a blend of teaching techniques, with a high proportion of lectures given by faculty members who gained one of the highest materials research ratings. PAF-IAST has its collaboration with top-notch Austrian and Chinese universities; thus, the program is designed according to the international standards so that the students are equipped with fundamental and applied knowledge of materials. Faculty members provide students with an understanding of the structures, processes and mechanisms that affect material properties. By the end of degree students are ready to prepare materials required for unimpeded progress of technology.
