Recent SemestersFall 2026, Spring 2026Class Size24 studentsCredits4PrerequisitePrerequisite: PHYS 41, CHEM 1 Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis 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. Laboratories provide opportunities to directly observe the structures and behaviors discussed in the course, to operate testing equipment, to analyze experimental data, and to prepare reports.
