Introduction to properties and structures of common matrix and reinforcing materials, mechanics of fiber-reinforced composites, lamina and laminate analysis, and mechanical performance. Crosslisted with AE, CEE, CHE, and ME 4791.

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

Processing, structure, properties relationships are explored through a series of hands-on experiments. Instruction on basic laboratory skills, safety, statistical analysis of data, use of laboratory notebooks and technical report writing.

Principles and applications of thermodynamics to materials science and engineering. Phase equilibria and the concepts necessary to interpret phase diagrams.

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

The structure-property-processing-performance relationships of engineering materials are described. Materials selection is treated as a part of engineering design.
