Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to provide students with the fundamental principles of materials science and engineering and to develop an understanding of the relationships between atomic structure, chemical bonding, microstructure, and mechanical properties of engineering materials. The course also aims to provide basic knowledge of metallic materials, alloys, and composite materials and enable students to interpret material behavior.
Course Content This course covers classification of materials, atomic structure, periodic table, molecular structure, bonding in solid materials, crystal structures, mechanical properties, and failure mechanisms of engineering materials. In addition, hydrogen embrittlement, dynamic strain aging, phase diagrams, properties of metallic alloys, and applications of composite materials will be discussed.
