This course introduces concepts related to the structure, properties, and processing of materials commonly used in engineering applications. Major topics include material structure, bonding, crystalline and non-crystalline structures, imperfections, properties of metals, metal alloys, ceramics and polymers, phase transformation, and material failures.
Prerequisites: ENGR 322 and ENGR 324 (minimum of C-).
Outcomes: Describe the microscale structure of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites; quantify and describe relationships among structure, processing, and properties; understand the role of material selection in contemporary engineering design applications.
