WE2024 — Engineering Materials I

Introduction to chemical and physical principles underlying the nature and behaviour of engineering materials. Examines how different arrangements of common units produce specific material types with unique properties (metals, polymers, ceramics, composites). Aims to stimulate student interest and establish foundational understanding. Topics: structure of materials, imperfections in solids, diffusion, properties and selection, dislocations and strengthening mechanisms, failure of materials, solidification and phase diagrams.
