Poll: Are you a Materials Engineer? Or, Are You Interested in Materials Engineering?

Most of the element14 community's content is focused on electronic design engineers or the maker/hobbyist who is in a learning mode or just wants to have some fun. But one of things that makes electronics really happen is the materials and the materials engineering that goes into semiconductors, printed circuit board fabrication, or even the materials used for dielectric materials in capacitors. And I can't forget mentioning the materials and alloys that are used for electrical contacts, which is always a balance between conductivity and durability. So, I am interested in learning how many materials engineers we have on element14. Or even who is interested in materials engineering. Please vote in my poll below.

  • I have a degree in mechanical engineering but then also took courses in materials science to get what was the equivalent of a materials engineering degree from the university I attended.  While I have never worked as a materials engineer all my work is and was done with / on materials :-) - like most engineers.  I keep up with materials science probably more than most but can’t call myself a materials engineer.
