COURSE DESCRIPTION

MSE 102 Materials Science and Engineering Orientation is a two-credit course presents a culturally relevant, contemporary and historical account of the applied science of materials. It is constructed around three major, interrelated themes:

• Historical and worldwide account of the development of materials' cultures and technologies, beginning in the Old Stone Age.
• A modern account of the applied science of materials, which is the application of basic physics and chemistry to the world around us.
• A discussion of the relationship among the processing (creation) of a material, its consequent structure (from the atomic to the macroscopic), its attendant properties (e.g., mechanical, physical, and chemical), and its performance in a given application.

TEXTBOOK and Reference BOOKS

• Mainly lecture notes and handouts given by the instructor
• Paul R. Howell, “Earth, Air, Fire & Water: Elements of Materials Science”, Pearson Custom Publishing, 2^nd edition, 2005 or Kendall Hunt Publishing, 1^st edition, 2012.
