The Department of Materials Engineering studies the properties of various materials and explores how to apply them in real life. Students study physical chemistry, introductory mechanics, modern physics, and more, and conduct research in various fields such as inorganic semiconductors, biomaterials, and organic semiconductors to lead technological innovation.   What objects are around you...

This article explains how infrared sensors work and the role of materials science in making them possible, and discusses the properties of superconducting materials and their various applications.   It’s a dark and narrow room, but there’s always a good friend waiting for you with a bright smile that helps you not to stumble in this dark room. This friend is called an infrared...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that enables a wide variety of objects to be networked together to share information and have automated systems, which can greatly improve convenience and efficiency in homes and industries.   We all remember reading in our school textbooks as children that it will soon be possible to turn off the lights we leave on when we rush out the door, or...

This article explains the main branches of mechanics in mechanical engineering: thermodynamics, solid mechanics, dynamics, and fluid mechanics, and how these principles are applied through real-life examples such as automobiles.   “You sound like you know” and “you look like you know” are two phrases that we have all heard around us and experienced in our lives. I...

This article discusses non-invasive methods to identify resources and underground structures using gravity, magnetism, elastic waves, and electrical resistivity exploration without digging into the Earth’s interior.   When we want to see the inside of our bodies without digging, we use imaging techniques such as MRI and CT. We can observe and photograph the inside of the body by...

This article explains how synthetic products are produced and used in everyday life, discussing the processes of the petrochemical industry, its limitations, and sustainable alternatives.   Take a look inside the room you live in. What do you see? You probably see clothes lying around, pay-as-you-throw plastic bags for trash, empty milk bottles, and synthetic rubber mats. They all have one...

This article explains the importance of science and technology in the history of mankind, the role of architectural engineering, and analyzes the differences between architectural engineering and architecture in detail.   The three elements that humans need to survive are called the three pillars of consciousness. In the Paleolithic Neolithic period, which we consider the beginning of human...

A secret peer review system and communication through leaders can be effective ways to prevent free riding in group work, which promotes individual cooperation and morality.   Nowadays, colleges and universities as well as high schools often use group work to encourage students to cooperate and collaborate. Group work is an important opportunity to achieve academic goals while learning...

This article explores the relationship between technological advancement and social change through the lens of technological determinism and social constructionism, using a variety of examples to argue that technology is a driving force for social change.   Technology has almost always accompanied humans since they emerged, forming groups and developing societies. Technology is the sum total...

Using works such as the 1999 movie ‘ The Matrix ‘, we will compare the lure of virtual reality with the intrinsic value of reality and explain why it is important to choose reality. Discuss why escaping to virtual reality is a poor choice and the importance of free will and solving problems in the real world.   The movie ‘ The Matrix ‘, released in 1999, begins with...
