Course Title: Engineering Materials & Composites
The course syllabus can be downloaded from here EGR 235-Syllabus
Course Description:
This course gives you an introduction to atomic and molecular structure of materials and its effect on the physical and Mechanical properties of materials in engineering applications. In this course you will learn about the Properties and applications of materials including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics composites, adhesives and lubricants. You will also be introduced to strengthening mechanism of metals including dislocations, alloying, Heat treatment, cold and hot working and their perspectives on phase diagrams and microstructure. Several Laboratory experiments are conducted to demonstrate hardness, plastic deformation, annealing, nondestructive testing, metallographic analysis and computer aided problem solving.
