Materials Science / Engineering
Faculty of Engineering & Technology
MODULE: Materials Science Engineering
Program delivered by distance learning higher education up to a maximum of 39 credits. This module may be combined or completed with other online university courses from this faculty.
DESCRIPTION:
The program treats the important properties of three primary types of material: metals, ceramics, and polymers, as well as composites. It describes the relationships that exist between the structural elements of these materials and their characteristics. It emphasizes mechanical behavior and failure along with techniques used to improve the mechanical and failure properties in terms of alteration of structural elements. It also discusses each of the corrosion, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties plus economic, environmental, and societal issues.
Courses list (each subject accounts for 3 credits):
