Materials Engineering

1. Do you want to deepen your understanding of the structure–property relationships in advanced materials?

Yes, that's my primary goal Partially, I have some foundation No, I prefer other fields

2. Are you interested in materials processing and manufacturing techniques (e.g., additive manufacturing, casting, deformation)?

Yes, I want to work on processing Somewhat, I’d like to learn basics No, that’s not my focus

3. Do you want to gain skills in materials characterization techniques (e.g., microscopy, spectroscopy, mechanical testing)?

Yes, it's essential for me To some extent, I want to know key tools No, I’m less interested in characterization

4. Are you motivated to work on improving material performance through design, selection, or alloying/composites?

Yes, I aim to optimize materials Somewhat, I find it interesting No, I prefer other challenges

5. Is sustainability and the development of eco-friendly materials important to you?

Yes, it's a priority Partially, I consider it relevant No, I focus elsewhere

6. Are you interested in failure analysis, reliability, and understanding degradation mechanisms in materials?

Yes, I want to diagnose and prevent failures Somewhat, I’d like to learn about it No, not a focus

7. Do you see yourself collaborating across disciplines (e.g., with physicists, chemists, mechanical engineers, or product designers)?

Yes, interdisciplinary work appeals to me Partially, I can adapt No, I prefer working independently

8. Are you interested in computational/materials modeling or simulation to predict properties and behavior?

Yes, I want to use modeling tools Somewhat, I’d like basic exposure No, I prefer experimental approaches

9. Do you want to contribute to innovation in advanced applications (e.g., biomedical materials, energy materials, smart coatings)?

Yes, that's inspiring Somewhat, I’d like to explore No, I prefer established technologies

10. What motivates you most to pursue a master’s in Materials Engineering?

To develop specialized expertise and drive technological advances To complement my background and improve career prospects I'm still exploring my direction
