Introduction To Materials

Introduction to Materials (IM) is a foundational course in engineering that teaches students about the structure, properties, and behavior of different engineering materials. This includes metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites. The course explains how atomic and molecular structures influence mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties, and how materials are selected based on performance requirements in real-world applications.

IM is essential for all engineering disciplines, as understanding materials is key to designing safe, efficient, and cost-effective products and systems. Students learn about material testing, failure analysis, phase diagrams, and processing methods. This knowledge supports innovation in fields such as mechanical design, manufacturing, aerospace, civil engineering, and nanotechnology.
