MEGT 2020 ENGINEERING MATERIALS

Credits

4

This course introduces the fundamentals of metallurgy and engineering material science. Topics include: chemical, physical and mechanical properties of materials, material limitations, metallurgy, material structures and applications, material extraction processing techniques, material treating and treatments, and material testing. Emphasis is provided on material strength, design considerations and the effects of heat treatment, creep and fatigue. The course includes performance lab exercises that demonstrate the applications of the topics covered such as; material testing (i.e. tensile and hardness testing), material treatment (i.e. heat treatment), and inspection (i.e. NDE).
