Required Textbook:
Callister, W.D., Rethwishch,D.G., Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering and
Integrated Approach, 3rd Edition, Wiley and Sons.
Course Objectives:
Students will become familiar with the properties, structures and uses of engineering materials.
They will understand the impact of material selection and material performance on the
performance of a structure or mechanism due to the relationship between macroscopic properties
and microscopic causes. The course integrates fundamental principles, practical design
principles, interactive learning, computer technology, and manufacturing technology in the
instructional package.

Course Learner Objectives:
At the completion of the Materials Science course, students should be able to:
1. Explain basic material properties and describe factors that affect each property;
2. Explain mechanisms of elastic and plastic deformation and strengthening;
3. Identify four failure mechanisms and suggest designs/ materials to preclude failure;
4. Explain heat-treating processes for metals;
5. Describe methods of protection for different types of corrosion and degradation;
6. Explain mechanism of thermal conduction and induced thermal stresses;
7. Identify the various types of materials and be familiar with their common uses;
8. Describe factors to consider in material selection process
