C language used in materials engineering?

I guarantee someone who does materials engineering uses C for their coding but that isn’t all you could use. For simulations, you will generally see C or Fortran. C++ is becoming more and more prevalent for this too.

I would recommend get used to MATLAB first at least, though, because this is more typical for engineering applications that don’t require supercomputers and there are many efficient built in functions for MATLAB. It is also much quicker to code up things.

If you want to work on any other languages, I would say try learning C/C++.
