Materials are traditional majors, and most of them belong to heavy industries, such as cement, steel, ceramics, refractories and other factories. Due to the rapid development of electronic industry, the research and production of some new materials also occupy a part, such as silicon carbide, gallium nitride and some new nano-materials, and jobs generally include production and research and development.

The development of materials industry is relatively slow, and it is generally not difficult to find employment, but it is not easy to find a good job. A large number of students in the materials industry choose to continue to do scientific research. Compared with other majors such as computer and microelectronics, there are many kinds of materials for scientific research, including metal, nonmetal and photoelectric materials. Because materials research is interdisciplinary and varied, it is easier to publish articles.

Scientific research achievements:

Northeastern University teachers and students are the main force and pioneers of the December 9th Movement. During the construction period, Dongda successively developed a large number of high-level scientific research achievements, such as the first domestic electronic analog computer, the first domestic CT, the first new smelting technology of super steel and vanadium-titanium magnetite, energy-saving theory and technology of iron and steel industry, controlled rolling and cooling technology, and hybrid intelligent optimization control technology.

From 20 1 1 to 20 17, the school undertook 6387 scientific and technological projects and won 279 scientific and technological awards, including 14 national awards and 58 provincial and ministerial first prizes. Obtained national patents 1499, including invention patents 1 127; Papers collected by three major searches *** 14644.
