Materials Science Course Outline: Text Books

This document outlines a materials science course that will last 16 weeks. It will cover topics including atomic structure, crystal structures of metals and ceramics, defects in solids, diffusion, mechanical properties, phase diagrams, and the iron-carbon phase diagram. Assessment will include a midterm, final, project, class test, homework, and quizzes. The intended learning outcomes are for students to understand the relationships between structure, processing, properties, and applications of engineering materials.

Intended Learning Outcomes:


 To be familiar with the fundamentals of materials of engineering significance,
materials classification and their diverse applications.
 Develop familiarity with different level of structures (atomic, crystal, and
microscopic) in engineering materials, and how atomic bonding and microstructure
affect the properties of materials.
 Understand the basis of microstructure development in materials
 Understand effects of processing, microstructure and crystal imperfections on
mechanical properties of materials.
 Understand and apply the basics of diffusion for surface treatment including case
hardening (carburizing and nitriding)
 To be able to explain the strengthening mechanisms that occur in metallic alloys,
and the heat treatments as well as other techniques that allow these mechanisms to
be realized.
 Ability to apply the concept of classification of engineering materials to select the
appropriate material for a certain application based generally on the required
performance.
 Understand and be able to use phase diagrams and specially the Iron - Carbon phase
diagram to design alloys that covers certain properties.
