The course delves into the internal structures and resulting behaviors of materials commonly employed in engineering applications, encompassing metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and semiconductors. A primary focus of the course is to equip students with the skills needed to select suitable materials that align with engineering design criteria. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive understanding of how factors such as heat, stress, imperfections, and chemical environments can impact material properties and overall performance in practical engineering scenarios. Students will not receive credit for both ENGR 066 and ENGR 066A . (C-ID ENGR 140)
