Engineering Materials

Catalog description

A study of the structure and properties of materials. Materials covered include metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Mechanical properties are emphasized, electrical properties, thermal properties, and environmental interactions are addressed. Structural features at the atomistic level, the crystal structure level, and the microstructure level of single and polyphase materials are studied in terms of their effects on material properties. Prerequisite: CH 103 or CH 104 or CH 155H ; Corequisite: PH 224
