Abstract:
"This guidebook is intended to enable students to navigate through materials science and engineering courses with increased motivation, reflection, and depth. It is meant to act as a guide for students' travels through the foreign lands of polymers, metals, ceramics, composites, and semiconductors, and as a reference to help students interpret some basic language and laws within materials science. The first chapter serves as an introduction to the general concepts of materials science. The remaining chapters focus on specific materials as well as concepts of characterization, materials selection and design as well as fracture. Throughout the text, expert contributors highlight key concepts and ideas, and how they relate to other areas of science. The guide will help students learn about materials and enhance thinking skills while encouraging them to become aware of their own pathway and the development of their own professional and personal skills for lifelong learning."--BOOK JACKET.
