△ CME 285 - Properties of Materials

(4 S.H.)

A lecture-laboratory course. Introduction to structure-property relationships of engineering materials. Classification of materials, atomic structure and bonding, crystal structures, imperfection in solids, stress-strain behavior and hardness of metals, phase diagrams, structure and properties of ceramics, polymer structures, stress-strain behavior of polymers, and corrosion of materials. Laboratory: crystal structures; X-ray diffraction; determination of tensile, hardness, microhardness, microstructure, and corrosion properties of metallic materials. Technical writing is an integral part of the course. Prerequisites: ENG 111 - College Reading and Writing and CHEM 213 - Principles of Chemistry II. Grade only.
