Description
Summary:"The subject of materials science and engineering is an essential course to engineers and scientists from all disciplines. With advances in science and technology, development of new engineering fields, and changes in the engineering profession, today's engineer must have a deeper, more diverse, and up-to-date knowledge of materials-related issues. At a minimum, all engineering students must have the basic knowledge of the structure, properties, processing, and performance of various classes of engineering materials. This is a crucial first step in the materials selection decisions in everyday rudimentary engineering problems. A more in-depth understanding of the same topics is necessary for designers of complex systems, forensic (materials failure) analysts, and research and development engineers/scientists"--
