- Introduces the materials science field, which emphasizes the structure-processing property-performance relationships for various classes of materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, electronic materials, and magnetic materials.
- Topics include crystallography, structure of solids, imperfections in crystals, mechanical properties, dislocation theory, slip, strengthening mechanisms, phase equilibrium, phase transformations, diffusion, thermal and optical physical properties, and electrical and magnetic properties.
- Issues associated with materials selection, including economic and environmental consequences of materials choices, are also addressed.
- Laboratory experiments, with written memo and report submissions, are required.
- Includes individual and team-based projects.
