Introduction

"This course provides an introduction to the properties and the selection of common engineering materials. Engineering materials in physical systems are subject to thermal, mechanical, electrical and chemical stress. The use of appropriate engineering materials for a specific application is critical to the reliability of the engineering system. The course presents basic knowledge about material parameters, including atomic structure; basic mechanical, thermal and electrical properties; composite material structures; metal and ceramic materials; corrosion; semiconductor materials; reliability and material failure; and material testing."
