| DESCRIPTION | This course includes an introduction to materials science and engineering. Emphasis is given on the "processing, structure, properties, performance" relationships that lead to the development of materials for society's needs. Examples are drawn from the major materials classes. Study-unit Aims: This course is required for the students pursuing the Bachelors of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) degree. Students will gain a working knowledge of the properties (mechanical, electrical, thermal, diffusive, degradative, magnetic, and optical), structure, and processing of engineering materials, including ceramic, metals, polymers, biological, and composite materials. Learning Outcomes: Upon course completion, the student will be able to: 1. Compare and contrast engineering material properties and their range of values; 2. Categorize the relation between material properties and underlying structure and atomic bonding; 3. Analyze how structure can be manipulated via thermal and mechanical processing; 4. Assess of how materials selection can enable improved performance in engineering applications (e.g., structural, thermal, electrical, optical, magnetic); 5. Analyze the relations between the composition, temperature and phase fractions applied to equilibrium phase diagrams for given engineering material systems. Further information is available to students on the ERAU platform. Main Text/s and any supplementary readings: Required Course Materials Douglas, E. P. (2014).
