Materials Engineering for Engineering Science

The course deals with mechanical properties and testing, deformation mechanisms, strengthening mechanisms, fractures, phase transformations, phase diagrams, transformation diagrams, heat treatment and, corrosion as well as the structure, properties, and application areas for metallic, ceramic, and polymer engineering materials. Students practice using light microscope, scanning electron microscope and equipment for mechanical testing (tensile testing, impact testing and hardness tests).

Instruction is in the form of lectures, seminars, and mandatory laboratory sessions.
