Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThe student learns experimental techniques, including the operation of standard materials testing equipment, to measure material performance and analyze experimental data in the context of the theories within materials science. The laboratory exercises relate to a range of materials science areas including: mechanical testing, heat treatment, crystal structures, phase diagrams, thermal properties, electrical properties, and forming operations. Students gain experience of working with metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. The course provides transfer preparation for majors in Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, Chemical and Civil engineering.
