Introduction to the Course: a. Catalog Description (2010-2011 Academic Catalog): An overview of structures, properties, and applications of metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites commonly used in industry is presented. Problem-solving skills are developed in the areas of materials selection, evaluation, measurement and testing. b. Prerequisites or co-requisites: MA 14700 c. Required course.

Specific Goals to the Course: a) General Education Objectives: Upon completion of this course the student will be able to: 1. Identify, calculate and interpret a material’s microstructure and mechanical properties (1.1, 1.2; a, b, c, f)**. 2. Interpret phase diagrams and understand the effects of various pre & post processes on material properties (1.1, 1.2; a, b, c, f)**. 3. Use basic testing devices to collect data which will identify a given material based on known physical properties (1.1, 1.2; a, b, c, f)**. 4. Communicate material properties and uses for various products (2.1; g)**. 5. Work in teams (2.3, 2.4, 3.3, 3.4; e, g)**.

b) Criteria 3 Student Outcomes: This course covers items a, c, e, f, and g in ABET Criteria 3.
