:: -- About CEREM -- Welcome to Center of Excellence for Research in Material Engineering --- ::

The Center of Excellence for Research in Engineering Materials is an initiative of Ministry of Higher Education. The mission of the center is to promote international excellence in materials science and engineering through research and educational programs. It emphasizes fundamental science and engineering issues that have benefits to the society and the global community.

The Center is established at College of Engineering, King Saud University. CEREM will explore metallic materials, Corrosion of metallic materials and Composite material methodologies. Additionally the center will also be working on the scientific basis of designing novel materials, as well as the techniques for producing them.

The mission of the Center is to promote excellence in materials research to benefit the society and global community. The Center commitment is to advance the state-of-the-art technologies, testing methodologies and performance assessment techniques of engineering materials in order to secure and strengthen the stature of the Kingdom in the field of materials .

The objectives of the center of excellence are:

To promote and initiate advanced research projects for strengthen its role in Engineering Materials.
To create a multi-disciplinary environment for developing Novel Materials and their Processing Techniques.
To educate and train young researchers to fulfill the University, Government and Industry needs.

To support collaborative research between CEREM, Industry and research centers.
To offer assistance to the Industrial Sector to solve their problems related to Engineering Materials.
To encourage technology transfer to the Industry & Government.
