General Objectives of the Course:
After completing this course, the students would be able to
1. Know the concepts of Material Science and Engineering and describe the practical application of each
material.
2. Understand “Why Study…….” and “Materials of Importance”
3. Select the suitable mechanical testing for investigating mechanical behavior of materials.
Related fundamental courses:
Calculus, Differential Equation, Physics, Chemistry
Exam and Grading:
•
Exams are always closed book, closed notes. Only one scientific calculator is allowed. The exams are
comprehensive and will test your knowledge of basic concepts and engineering applications. The exams will be
held 2 times as follows;
Midterm exam: after the end of the 7th lecture, this exam is equivalents to the midterm exam.
Final exam: after the end of the course, this exam is equivalent to the final exam.
All students must take all exams otherwise you will receive the “Fe” grade. Only extenuating circumstances
will be accepted as excuse for missing an exam. Health related excuses require medical reports and the signature of a
physician that provided treatment.
•
Grading system: the final grade will be determined by the weighting scheme below
Midterm exam -- 40%
Final exam -- 40%
Course participation, quiz and homework -- 20%
Class participation (including the timely completion of any assignments) is a basic expectation for all.
Students failing to meet this expectation may see their final grades substantially lowered.
•
Student who obtains the score lower than 45% will not pass this course, i.e. they will receive the “F” grade.
