Properties of Material and Testing

Catalog description

Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2332 . This course provides an integrated approach to materials science and engineering. Students learn the important relationships between processing, microstructure, and the properties of materials. The course provides an introduction to basic characterization techniques for materials, such as microscopy, hardness testing, fracture testing and analysis, fatigue testing, and impact testing. In addition, material selection and heat treatment topics are covered. The course requires hands-on involvement by the students in the planning of experiments as well as data manipulation and analysis of results.
