ENGR 210 MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING 4.5 UNITS

Class hours: 3.0 Lecture/1.0 Laboratory

Prerequisite: PHYS 201 and CHEM 111 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or higher or "Pass."

This course presents the internal structures and resulting behaviors of materials used in engineering applications, including metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, and semiconductors. The emphasis is upon developing the ability both to select appropriate materials to meet engineering design criteria and to understand the effects of heat, stress, imperfections, and chemical environments upon material properties and performance. Laboratories provide opportunities to directly observe the structures and behaviors discussed in the course, to operate testing equipment, to analyze experimental data, and to prepare reports.
