ENGR2060 — Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering
ENGR 2060 - Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering ENGR 2060 - Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering Hours/Week: Lecture 3 Lab 0 Course Description: This course introduces the world of materials science and engineering. Topics include atomic structure and bonding, crystal structure, crystal defects, phase diagrams, microstructure as a basis for understanding mechanical, electrical, optical and magnetic properties of materials, diffusion, phase transformations, heat treatment, materials selection and design for materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, biomaterials, semiconductors and composites. MnTC Goals None explain the principles of select materials testing techniques. describe the key characteristics of materials, including their mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. apply engineering problem-solving skills through project-based learning activities. explain the roles of thermodynamics (using phase diagrams) and kinetics (through diffusion) in determining a material’s structure and properties. explain how different materials are used to create products .
