Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completing the module, students should:
1. Be familiar with the major classes of engineering materials
2. Be familiar with the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of engineering materials, their definition, measurement and specification
3. Be familiar with the main electrical and optical properties of materials
4. Be able to locate material property data
5. Understand in qualitative terms the physical basis of material structure and the physical basis of the principal engineering properties of materials
6. Be familiar with elementary concepts of metallurgy, in particular microstructure-property relationships in metals and alloys, with reference to iron-carbon; ferrous alloys, Al, Ti, Mg, Cu, and refractory metals.
7. Be familiar with the major polymeric materials and their use as solid polymers, coatings, foams and adhesives
8. Be familiar with the main types of ceramics and glasses in engineering
9. Be familiar with the concepts durability and in particular of electrochemical corrosion
10. Be acquainted with the main materials processing operations
