Textbook: M. F. Ashby, Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Elsevier, 2011,

Other (a) Brief description of the content of the course (catalog description) Information Integration of structure, properties, processing and performance principles to formulate and implement solutions to materials engineering problems. (b) Prerequisites or co-requisites ENGR 3450, MTSE 3010. The student must be familiar with fundamentals of materials science – crystal structure, bonding, and processing. We will use “case studies ” format. (c) Whether a required or elective course in the program. Required Specific Goals: (a) Specific outcomes of instruction To provide students the ability to: (a) understand how materials structure, properties, and processing interact to affect their performance using materials datanbases. (b) devise, design and conduct computational exercises to explore the essential elements of materials science and engineering in materials performance using case study format. (c) Students will learn to recognize new design opportunities with materials and communicate their ideas with their peers by working on an independent project, and summarizing their work in the form of a term paper and a class presentation. We will use CES EduPack Software from Granta Design to explore materials selection using practical problems. (b) Explicitly indicate which of the student outcomes listed in Criterion 3 or any other outcomes are addressed by the course. This course addresse
