材料科學與工程三大領域(Three Fields in Science and Engineering of Materials)

一般來說，材料科學與工程大致劃分為三大領域：材料研發與設計、材料製造、材料測試與分析(圖4)。材料研發與設計者根據市面需求開發新材料的配方與製程﹔材料製造者則依據前者開發出來的配方與製程將材料的產能大量化生產﹔材料測試與分析者則分別在研發過程，測試與分析實驗過程中的產品，提供材料性質與微結構訊息，協助研發者調整實驗的方向，和量產中，抽測產品，分析不合格產品的微結構，提供製程參數的微調的依據。

Generally, science and engineering of materials can be divided into three subgroups: R&D and design, manufacture, test and analysis. People of R&D and design develop new materials and new processes to meet requirements emerged. People of manufacturing make these new materials into mass production or use these new processes to improve the yield in production. People of test and analysis either help R&D people to test and analyze the microstructure of new materials and find the relationship between process and the microstructure of materials or analyze the microstructure of defect products in production line.
