This course is intended for students with materials science major who need basic understanding of the fundamentals of materials science. It is a compulsive course for second-year undergraduate students in the College of Materials Science and Engineering. This course is a fundamental science course that provides an overview of Materials Science and Engineering as a basis for understanding how structure/property/processing relationships are developed and used for different types of materials, such as metals, ceramics, and polymers. It lays a foundation for further studies of metallic, ceramic, polymeric, composite, structural, and functional materials. The roles of materials in modern society are also illustrated by case studies of advances in new materials and processes.

The course materials covered in this semester introduces the basic principles of materials science, metallurgy, metallography, and heat treatment. Topics include, but not limited to, the structure of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers), phase diagrams, defects in materials, and solidification theory and phenomenon. Students are expected to have a good understanding of the common principles of materials phenomena, as well as the relationship between materials properties and their processing methods based on the understanding of their microstructure characteristics.
