ENGR 1600 - Materials Science for Engineers


Introduction to “real” (defect-containing) solids, and equilibria and kinetic processes in solids. Macroscopic properties, such as mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, are dominated by structure and bonding, and the course continuously emphasizes this connection. Each of the materials classes (metals, ceramics, semiconductors, and polymers) is discussed in detail in this context.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: CHEM 1100.

When Offered: Fall and spring terms annually.



Credit Hours: 4

Contact, Lecture or Lab Hours: 5 contact hours
