MAE 2200 - Materials Engineering

3 Credits (Minimum) 3 Credits (Maximum)

Introduction to engineering materials emphasizing metals and alloys and including ceramics and plastics. Principles behind material development, selection, and behavior are discussed with special emphasis on relevance to load-bearing applications. The relationship between microscopic characteristics and their effect on macroscopic properties will be explored. The lab component will involve metallurgical testing and analysis of common material processing techniques. Prer., CHEM 1401/1402 (formerly CHEM 1301 or CHEM 1030), MATH 1350, PES 1110.
