Engineering Materials: Structure and Properties

At the end of this course, students should be able to: 1. identify basic engineering materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites and describe their structures and properties; 2. state the structure-property relationships for engineering materials; and 3. describe the manufacturing 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.
