As defined by a USA Academy of Sciences study, MSE involves the generation and application of knowledge relating position, structure, and processing of materials to their properties and uses.РMSEРThe “science” focuses on discovering the nature of materials, which in turn leads to theories that explain how structure relates position, properties, and behavior.РMSEРThe “engineering”, on the other hand, deals with use of the science in order to develop(开发), prepare, modify, and apply materials to meet specific needs.
