EGN 3365 - Structure and Properties of Materials

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: CHM 2045 - Chemistry 1 and PHY 2048 - Physics 1
Co-requisite or Prerequisite: MAC 2312 - Analytic Geometry and Calculus 2
Course Description: The course introduces the fundamental concepts of materials science and engineering focusing the interrelationship between the microstructure of a material, its properties and its processing. The topics highlighted in this course are; material selection, crystallographic structure, diffusion, solidification, phase diagrams, phase transformation, microstructure and mechanical properties of different classifications of materials, which include metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. The analysis of mechanical properties, the manufacturing process, the material specifications for a selected application or component, and the advantages and limitations of selected material are presented.
