EGR 2113 - Engineering Materials 3 Credits
A study of the chemical, physical, and electrical properties of materials using a fundamental atomistic approach. The materials of interest are: metals, polymers, ceramics and composites. The interactive relationship between structure, properties and processing of materials will be emphasized.
Prerequisite: MATH 2214 - Calculus I , PHYS 2114 - University Physics I , and CHEM 1204 - General Chemistry
Course Level Objectives

1. Classify materials by properties and function. (PLO 1, 4, 5)
2. Apply the concepts of atomic and molecular structure to classify various materials. (PLO 1, 4, 5)
3. Define basic crystal structures and calculate their properties and dimensions. (PLO 1, 3, 4, 5)
4. Describe and explain the effects of imperfections in crystalline structure. (PLO 1, 3, 4, 5)
5. Describe diffusion in solids and calculate the effects of diffusion using Fick’s 1st and 2nd laws. (PLO 1, 3, 4, 5)
6. Define stresses on materials and calculate the effects of stress on materials. (PLO 1, 3, 4, 5)
7. Describe the effects of fracture and fatigue on materials. (PLO 1, 3, 4, 5)
8. Define and quantify the effects of strain hardening and annealing of materials. (PLO 1, 3, 4, 5)
9. Apply the concepts of thermodynamics to understand the solidification of materials. (PLO 1, 4, 5)
