Recent SemestersSpring 2027, Fall 2026Class Size24 studentsCredits4PrerequisiteCompletion of CHEM 110 and PHYS 110. This course presents the internal structures and resulting behaviors of materials used in engineering applications, including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and semiconductors. The emphasis is upon developing the ability both to select appropriate materials to meet engineering design criteria and to understand the effects of heat, stress, imperfections, and chemical environments upon material properties and performance. This course contains a lab component in which mechanical properties and behaviors will be explored through the use of common mechanical testing techniques.
