Laboratory experiments using standard equipment to measure material properties, characterize material structure and composition, and explore processing methods to form functional shapes, and modify properties of the formed shapes. Experiments are carried out with metal, ceramic, and polymeric materials to illustrate property-structure-processing relationships.
Learning Outcomes1Identify and properly utilize primary sources and online databases to find information about material structures, properties, and processing techniques.
2Demonstrate the use of a variety of processing techniques for metals, ceramics, and polymers and to identify the changes in microstructure and properties they cause.
3Apply characterization techniques appropriate for the class of material analyzed.
4Assess validity of experimental data and recognize experimental factors affecting data.
5Accurately and clearly report engineering data using figures, graphs, and tables and proper statistical methods.
6Display effective written communication in technical reports.
