Materials are fundamental to economic, social and industrial development. They form the basis for the functionality of the built environment, products and technologies that are vital to modern society. This course will discuss the recent discovery of emerging materials that they can be the key innovative trigger in the development of many new products and technologies.

CILO-1: Discuss key points in the emerging material on materials science and engineering. CILO-2: Keep up with the latest research and development of new materials that support emerging low carbon energy technologies in lifelong learning for market deployment. CILO-3: Describe the possible priorities, bottlenecks and synergies in the field of emerging energy technologies (with the potential for industrial development) and to gather ideas on how to progress on the successful deployment of materials with improved performance.
