SYNOPSIS: 

Materials Science and Engineering course is an introduction to students to learn the
fundamentals of materials science and engineering (structure, properties, design and
performance). The key step in engineering process is selection of materials for the
applications. In the course, students will learn about different classifications of
materials, atomic structure and bonding, materials properties, phase diagram and
processes involved to produce a final product. This includes advanced techniques in
metal fabrications such as powder metallurgy and 3D printing technology. Students
will also learn to analyze the materials failure in the structure, applications and
environments. Laboratory work will be used to perform the testing techniques
employed by materials engineers to determine the properties and evaluate the materials
tested. In order to cater for Industry 4.0 technology, students will be given case study
and examples based on the current trends in materials and applications.
