Engineering Materials

Survey of Engineering Materials
WEEK 1

This week introduces students to Materials Engineering and Technology. Basic types of materials are to be examined by simple tests.

Materials Concepts

WEEK 2

This week exposes students to some materials and their characteristics. Examples related to types of material failure and causes are to be addressed.

History and Chemistry

WEEK 3

This week discusses various structure configurations in materials with respect to their performance. Microscopic and macroscopic approaches are to be employed.

Degradation and Failure

WEEK 4

This week works on the structural analysis using simple testing apparatus. Three major types of properties (mechanical, physical, and chemical) will be addressed.

Properties and Testing

WEEK 5

This week deals with the processing techniques for shaping materials to products. The interrelationships among processing, structure and properties will be emphasized.

Material Processing

WEEK 6

This week exploits career paths in the field of materials engineering and technology. Future applications of materials will be discussed.
