  • To encourage discussion and networking between all people interested in the manufacture, processing and use of engineering materials.
  • To encourage the study of engineering materials at all levels of education and research.
    To disseminate knowledge in the field of engineering materials through published papers, courses, technical meetings, conferences & training courses.
  • To assist the manufacturing and engineering industry in the training of their personnel.
  • To strengthen the overall knowledge of materials in the engineering industries.
