    I. Course Description

    This is an introductory course in materials science and engineering. Focus will be on


    the nature and types of engineering materials, processing techniques, testing methods
    and some engineering applications.
    II. Instructional Objectives of the Course

    Instructional Objectives:

    1. Define materials science and engineering within the frame of structure,


    properties, synthesis/processing and applications/performance.
    2. Classification of materials into their main groups namely metals, ceramics and
    glasses, polymers, semiconductors and composites.
    3. Introduce the concepts crystal structure, crystallographic defects and phases
    formed via condensation of matter.
    4. Describe deformation mechanisms in engineering materials.
    5. Describe methods by which fully crystalline and poorly crystallized materials
    can be strengthened.
    6. Draw clear distinctions between the different main groups of materials.
    7. Introduce some materials processing techniques and highlight property-structure
    relationships in materials.
    8. Introduce testing methods for conventional engineering materials with emphasis
    on common destructive and non-destructive test methods.
