Illinois MATSE 280: Introduction to Engineering Materials
Category
Published on
Abstract
This course introduces you to the materials science and engineering of metals, ceramics, polymers, and electronic materials. Topics include: bonding, crystallography, imperfections, phase diagrams, properties and processing of materials. Case studies are used when appropriate to exemplify the lecture topics. Related courses are mostly focussed on Mechanical Behavior.
Objectives:
- To develop an awareness of materials and their properties that, as an engineer, you must rely on in the future.
- To introduce basic ideas, nomenclature, and testing of materials.
- To reveal relationships amongst processing -> structure -> properties -> performance.
- To provide some background in
Materials Science (structure - property relationships) - To introduce
Materials Engineering (designing set of properties based on these relationships). - To develop ideas regarding materials selection and design.
