Course Description

ENGR 45 - Materials of Engineering
Credits: 3.00
Application of principles of chemistry and physics to the properties of engineering materials. The relation of microstructure to mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical properties of metals. Solid material phase equilibria and transformations. The physical, chemical, mechanical and optical properties of ceramics, composites, and polymers. Operation and use of materials characterization instruments and methods. Prerequisites: Chemistry 1A, Engineering 25, and Physics 4A (all completed with a grade of C or higher). 2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory.
