Engineering Materials: Structure and Properties

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. identify the following engineering materials: metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites -- their structures and properties; 2. explain the structure-property relationships for engineering materials; 3. discuss the manufacture, processing and applications of engineering materials.

Basic structure of ceramics, alloys, composites, metals, and polymers. Relationships between the structure of materials and their mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, and chemical properties.
