Materials are everything that humans use in daily life, both naturally occurring substances like wood and human-made materials like plastic. Engineering-oriented materials science should be studied over pure science because it allows us to better understand the materials we currently use and develop new materials to improve life through safer, more enjoyable and sustainable technologies. Materials science and engineering involves analyzing structure, properties and behavior to research recycling and environmentally friendly disposal, whereas pure science pursues knowledge without necessarily considering applications.

How do you define materials?
Materials it’s just about everything that we use every day of our lives. Naturally occurring
materials can be wood or human made like plastic.
What the reasons why we should study “Engineering-Oriented science in materials science
“rather than pure science?
We should study Engineering Oriented science in materials science rather than pure science
because in our every day life we come into contact with many thousands of manufactured objects
that are essential to modern life that keeps us life. To develop the new products and technologies
that will make our lives safer, more enjoyable and more sustainable we must understand how to
make best use of the material we already have and how to develop new materials that will meet
the demands of the future. Materials Science and Engineering involves the study of the structure,
properties and behavior of all material and research into recycling and environmentally friendly
disposal. While pure science is more to natural science that work in pursuit of new knowledge.
Scientists working in this type of research don’t necessarily have any ideas in mind about
applications of their work. They may be testing an existing theory, they may have a new
experimental technique they want to try, or they may literally stumble accidentally into a new
area of discovery.
