Surface engineering may well be thought of as a very specialised subject deep within engineering or metallurgy. Take a look around the area where you are now. Do you see any items that are surface engineered? In fact, to find a manufactured item without some form of surface engineering applied to it may be far more difficult. Consider that piece of cake with the special "surface engineered" coating of pink icing you are about to eat from a plate that has a surface coated with a pretty ceramic glaze... Also don't let us forget nature's own complex biological surface engineering. Surfaces that are self-repairing, heat regulating, loaded with sensory systems to name a few... To gain or improve upon the desired surface properties of a material. To improve a components; performance, service lifetime, aesthetics or economics.
