Materials Science – Investigating relationships that exist between the structure and properties of materials.

Materials Engineering – On the basis of these structure-property correlations, designing or engineering the structure of a material to produce a pre-determined set of properties.

Structure

Structure of a material usually relates to the arrangement of its internal components.

Subatomic - Structure involves electrons within the individual atoms and interactions with their nuclei.

Atomic level- structure encompasses the organization of atoms or molecules relative to one another.

Microscopic – Which contains large groups of atoms that are normally agglomerated together.

Macroscopic – Viewable with the naked eye.
