It was alright. Nothing to crazy. Has some interesting stuff in it, but I didn't find it overall super exciting. Id say when we talked about corrosion, and material failure was the most interesting.
Introduction to the structure and properties of engineering materials. Structure of crystalline solids and imperfections. Atomic diffusion. Mechanical properties and failure of ductile and brittle materials. Dislocations and strengthening mechanisms. Phase equilibria, phase transformations, microstructure development, and heat treatment principles of common metallurgical systems including steels and aluminum alloys. Structure and mechanical properties of ceramic, polymeric and composite materials. Thermal properties of materials. Corrosion and degradation. Basic electronic properties of materials. Engineering applications.
Peter was very nice. Enjoyed what he does and tried to make class interesting. Overall nice guy.
Exams were multiple choice when I took this class. Only got 1 page of note sheets (front and back).
