This subject comprises an overview of materials science and engineering, classification,
properties and applications of materials. The materials science part is more related
with the structure and properties of materials while the materials engineering analyses
the impact of these structural properties and processing techniques on the final materials
performance. Understanding the interrelationship between processing, structure, properties
and performance is the ultimate objective of this subject. Topics covered in this
subject are: metals including alloys, ceramics, polymers, composites, atomic structure
and bonding, crystal structures, mechanical properties, phase diagrams, electrical
and optical properties.
Learning Outcomes
- describe and summarise key properties of metal, ceramic, polymer and composite materials;
- examine phase diagrams and crystal structure of different materials;
- analyse material properties (mechanical, thermal, optical and electrical) and their
implications on process selection and final application;
- combine knowledge on materials science and engineering with experimental and analytical
skills.
