Materials engineers create unique composite materials needed by specialized high tech applications. These engineers study the physical and chemical properties of metals, ceramics, plastics, composites, nanomaterials, and other materials. Research, testing, and development of new products are a major portion of the job.

Employment in this field is projected to grow 2% from 2016 through 2026.
