&ourse Descri3tion
This is a fundamental course on Engineering materials. It deals with the Engineering materials
like Metals, Polymers, Ceramics and composites. Basic structure of materials from atomic level
to microstructure level is eplained along with the influence of these structure on Mechanical,
Electrical, Thermal and !ptical properties of the materials. "election of materials for different
applications and material performance # material degradation in service is also analysed.
Sco3e and 456ectives
It aims to provide $asic understanding of different engineering materials such as metals, alloys,
polymers, ceramics and composites from the viewpoint of application of their mechanical,
chemical, electrical and physical properties.
