Among the main targets determined within the scope of the National Technology Move in the "2023 Industry and Technology Strategy" announced by the Ministry of Industry and Technology, targets for Material Technologies were defined under the title of "Development of Strategic Materials for Priority Sectors". With the National Technology Move, the goal of "the strategic materials needed by the motor vehicles, sea vehicles, rail systems, machinery, semiconductors, electrical-electronics, defense, aviation and space sectors and determining the properties of these materials" has taken place in the achievement of our country's strategic goals. In addition, targets were set for the development of strategic materials such as energy production, storage and transfer, aluminum for the defense industry, qualified steel and armor steel.

In addition to the iron-steel (İçdaş Çelik Enerji Shipyard and Transportation Industry Inc.) and ceramics (Kaleseramik Aş., Kale Maden Aş., Kale Frit A. ) and energy (İçdaş Enerji, CenAl Power Plant, Borusan Enerji WPP, Çan Thermal Power Plant, Enerjisa WPP, Guris WPP) serve regional development and create employment areas for the department.

When the large companies of the developed countries mentioned in the world are examined, it is seen that they are engaged in research and development activities on nanomaterials and nanotechnology in order to maintain their position or to grow. The importance and value of Materials Science and Engineering is increasing day by day in parallel with technology.

While such up-to-date and rapid development of new technologies contributes to the development of materials science, it does not cause any wear on classical material technologies (iron and steel industry, metal processing, heat treatment, etc.), that is, the expansion continues rather than a contraction in business areas. Of course, job opportunities depend on the scientist or engineer candidate's self-development in parallel with his/her personal abilities.

It is foreseen by the leaders of the sector that there will not be a contraction in job opportunities in the field of materials science today and in the coming years. Job opportunities are not only limited to materials science and technologies, but also can find job opportunities in related disciplines and application areas, which include most of the basic sciences and technological application support during the undergraduate education. The need for trained personnel in the relevant industry branches, whose engineering requirements based on the research areas related to the department will never decrease, will increase in parallel with these technological developments. For example, renewable energy resources, defense industry, nanotechnological material production, ship, automotive and aircraft industry, iron and steel industry, metal processing, plastic and composite material production.
