A description of the the work done by "Materials Engineers" can be found
in the occupational
outlook handbook. On this page we examine the most common methods
of getting into this job category. We have examined all of the people
in our data set who were "Materials Engineers" and have identified the
most common major fields of study. Jobs categories vary considerably
in their degree requirements, so we have provided separate rankings for
each degree.
