| Course Objectives: |
To build knowledge on the connections between microscopic material structure (atomic or crystal structure, nano-sized defects, etc.) and macroscopic mechanical or electrical properties for engineering materials consisting of metals, ceramics, organics and composites. It is also aimed to emphasize the importance of material selection in targeted material design for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, it is aimed to enable students to trace macroscopic material properties to their underlying microscopic origins through the knowledge of structure-property relationships, thus improving their understanding of the material-property relationship. |
