1. Background of the Program
Materials Science and Engineering is an essential branch of engineering, which enables

the development and application of materials in society and gives better conditions of life by
providing the transmission of technical advancement to the society as a result of novel
fabrication techniques. The Materials Science and Engineering profession is one of the youngest
disciplines that emerged recently in Ethiopia, but was born in 1960s in the USA. In reality, it has
been developed with human history since the prehistoric age.
In Ethiopia, we believe that it will be an important program offered by Jimma University,
as a pioneer. As a result, our university will produce the “Materials” professionals who
contribute to the nation’s advancement in various fields and simultaneously improve the socio-
economic conditions in community. It is also expected that this discipline becomes one of the
most innovative and important technologies, which will help the Ethiopian industries grow
effectively by providing many professionals matching to their necessities.
Ethiopia is currently in the development stage, namely growing and expanding, and thus
the industrialization based on science and technology are primarily important, but to meet that
requirement, there are too much shortage of the technical professionals and experts with
sufficient knowledge and skills. Hence, to tackle these national problems, it is required to
produce additional specialists in science and technology. Therefore, for that purpose, this new
bachelor program of Materials Science and Engineering has been built up in Jimma University,
which will cover significantly the aforementioned need sand future challenges in various sectors
such as energy, environment, metallurgy, ceramics, plastics, semiconductors, electronics, food
industry, and other infrastructures.
2. Rationale for the Harmonized Materials Science & Engineering

Curriculum
The current Materials Science and Engineering curriculum is designed to give some
guidelines, considering the future mobility of students in various industries, research institutes
and universities in both local and international. Furthermore, it is believed that the curriculum
may also serve as a reference for the other public universities in Ethiopia, because we expect that
they may launch a new Materials Science and Engineering program in their universities.
4
Materials Science & Engineering is the profession that deals with the processing-structure-
property-performance relationship for all kinds of materials needed in academia and industries.
For examples, the list of products that Materials Scientists and Engineers can develop and
improve, include not only traditional materials (metals, ceramics and polymers), but also
advanced materials(semiconductors, bio-materials and other smart materials).Materials Scientists
and Engineers can handle all kinds of materials with deep knowledge in their each specialty
field.
The profession of Materials Science and Engineering seems to be incomparable in some
senses, because all we see and experiences are made with some materials. In addition, the reason
for this affirmation can be found by the knowledge gained by Materials Scientists and Engineers
to develop his/her profession. In details, Materials Scientist and Engineer will have a deep
knowledge in mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering related with all materials science
and technology. Hence, we can say that Materials Scientist and Engineer have broader scope of
knowledge in their profession than other engineers.
By inaugurating the Materials Science and Engineering Department in Jimma University,
the professionals trained in this discipline are believed to break the hurdles of many important
Ethiopian problems which stop the economic and social development. Better food conservation
techniques, environmental remediation, energy storage and production, plastics, better roads and
novel medical treatments are only a few examples among the outputs that a Material Science
Engineer will produce to change the nation. Even now, the industries’ efficiency, whatever the
scale it would be, can be upgraded preferentially with the use of novel materials. With a few
economical investments, Ethiopian industries can obtain large, valuable and high quality
products. The department of Materials Science and Engineering will contribute for the nation to
be equipped with the knowledge required for her growth and development.
To date, Materials Science and Engineering has been evolved continuously. It may
contribute to from wood industry to advanced semiconductor/telecommunication industries. This
fact conveys the idea that Materials Science and Engineering should upgrade their knowledge
even after the graduation, because new technologies are developed without cease. In the current
scenario, Ethiopia cannot afford to have more time to neglect such resourceful Materials Science
and Engineering’s professionals for the national growth and transformation. At this moment,
there are few professionals in Materials Science and Engineering in the various sectors of
5
industry. Hence, we try to solve this problem by educating students in these specific fields. It is
do not have to be mentioned that Materials Scientists and Engineers will make a significant
change in our industries by using their special knowledge in materials.
3. Professional Profile
Materials Science and Engineering professionals are primarily important for any
industrial development. For examples, the development of new materials is needed for plastic,
ceramic, metal, composite and other industries. Materials Scientists and Engineers are
responsible of these developments, because his/her unique professions are all related with
materials issues. Materials Science and Engineering is a branch of engineering that enables the
design and application of all kinds of materials to our society. Materials Science and Engineering
profession demands a deep knowledge in fundamental science and particularly in any industrial
and/or governmental project’s development. The professionals are also compelled to acquire
knowledge in economy, including industrial management to choose the optimized materials for
each case by case.
The professionals produced by the Materials Science and Engineering Department, are
believed to receive a tremendous recognition from the academia, industries and government.
Hence, this kind of profession should be very useful and helpful for the development of Ethiopia.
Therefore, an institutional support should be highly required.
Materials Science and Engineering professionals should be expert in:

 Improving new techniques, technologies or methods that the industry and/or society
demands.
 Develop the industrial sector and novel materials for the national and international
demand.
 Possess and exhibit an expert knowledge in mathematics, chemistry, physics and
engineering (all needed for producing new materials).
 Be up to date in the new trends to face the changes in the upcoming scientific fields
(polymers, ceramics, biotechnology, semiconductor and electronic devices, chemical
industry, food industry, pharmaceuticals, environmental remediation techniques,
biomedicine, etc).
6
The opportunity that opens Materials Science and Engineering to Ethiopia is not new in the rest
of the world. Material Scientists and Engineers have proved their abilities in all kinds of
industries and have succeeded in various projects. The most marked advances can be seen in
food and drink packaging industries. The key features of the Materials Scientists and Engineers
are their interrelationship and exposure to new technologies. Below are the general tasks that can
be developed by a Materials Scientist and Engineer:
 Elaborate a detailed program of availability and technical feasibility of any technical
project (with special interest in the areas of polymers, ceramics, metallurgy or any related
field to Materials Science and Engineering).
 Prepare, certify, guarantee and assure that the most recent international standards are
