Course Description

Introduction to materials science. Fundamental principles of processing, structure and properties of engineering materials. Properties of materials being related to atomic, molecular, crystalline structure. Metals, alloys such as steel, ceramics, polymeric materials and composites. Phase diagrams, mechanical properties and thermal processing of metals and alloys.

Course Objectives

To introduce the basic principles of materials science for an understanding of the relations among processing, structure, properties and applications of engineering materials within the groups of metals, polymers and ceramics.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon the successful completion of the SMM 222 “Materials Science” course, students will be able to

1. comprehend  the interrelationships among the four components (namely processing, structure, properties and applications) that are involved in the design, production and selection of the engineering materials
2. describe the characteristics of the different material types such as metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and advanced materials
3. interpret the phase diagrams of metals and alloys
4. describe the applications and processing of metals and alloys
5. analyze the stress-strain curves to predict mechanical properties of metals, ceramics and polymers
6. evaluate the performance criteria of materials for the required application
7. discuss materials suitable for marine engineering applications
