Polymer Material Engineering aims to train engineering candidates who are capable of contributing to the design, production, processing, development, application, quality control, and resolution of technical issues that may arise during all stages of polymer-based materials such as polymer science and technology, elastomers, composite materials, fiber science and technology, technical textiles, adhesives, coatings, automotive plastics, and filter materials, in light of the principles of engineering and basic sciences. It aims to generate research, knowledge, technological value, and adapt their outputs to real life.

The structure, properties, and performance of polymeric materials, along with understanding and enhancing their environmental interactions, are considered among the greatest engineering achievements and technological developments of the 20th century. Polymers are used as construction materials in mobile phones, tablets, computers, and cars; as components in ships, airplanes, and high-performance sports equipment (such as ski sets, snowboards, tennis rackets, golf clubs, and bicycles). On the other hand, advanced materials, engineering polymers, and fibers are of great importance. In the biomedical field, polymeric materials are also used in the production of life-saving devices such as arterial stents, heart valves, and artificial joints. In short, polymers are everywhere in our lives.
