TEXT: Fundamentals of Materials Science for Technologists
Second Edition, By: Larry Horath
OFFICE HOURS: By appointment, or before of after class.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The study of metallurgy, plastics, and ceramics with emphasis on
properties,
structure, testing, and heat treatment for the design, manufacture, and failure
analysis of material. Stress strain, and deformation tests will be included.
OBJECTIONS:
Upon completion of the course students will be able to:
1. Describe the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of metals,
plastics, ceramics, concrete, composite, and fiber products.
2. Explain the principles of both mechanical and non-destructive material
testing.
3. Perform and interpret a variety material tests (hardness, impact, tensile,
shear, bend, and compression).
4. Explain the crystalline structure of materials.
5. Interpret phase diagrams.
6. Describe the effects of various heat treatments on metals.
7. Prepare and examine microscopic samples.
PREREQUISITE: None
CLASS FORMAT:
A combination of lectures, videos and class discussion will account for
about 70% of the presentations. We will take several class tours and have a guest
speaker. Group discussion will be an integral part of this class.
TESTS:
There will be two tests during the course, a mid-term and a final exam. Each
will cover an individual and approximately equal portion of the class. The final test
will not be comprehensive. Test will be comprised of a variety of different
objective and subjection questions including: multiple choice, short answer,
matching, and true-false questions. Quizzes may be given. Tests and homework
will count for 90% of the grade. Class participation and attendance will account
for 10 % of the grade.
WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS:
There will be several written assignments during the semester, including lab
reports. The written assignments will carry 30% of final grade.
GRADING:
In keeping with University policy, only grades of A, B, C, D, and F may be
given in this course. Accordingly, the following range will be used to apply all
grades: Score if 93-100 =A, 82-92=B, 70 –82=C, 60-70=D and 0-59=F.
CLASS ATTENDANCE:
Each student is expected to attend all classes. You will not be
penalized for missing a class, you will be given consideration for perfection or
near
perfect attendance.
