Instructor

Course Code: PCMET205

Course Name: Material Science & Engineering

Course Prerequisite: None

Course Objectives:
1. To recognize the importance of the microstructures and physical properties of the materials to enable the material selection process.
2. To develop an understanding of the basic principles of phase transformations and apply those principles to engineering applications.

Course Outcomes:

At the end of the course students should be able to:

CO1: Understand the crystal structures (BCC, FCC, and HCP), and their relationship with the properties.

CO2: Understand the crystallographic defects through metallography

CO3: Compare the material properties among different materials for
material selection.

CO4: Define and differentiate the microstructure of metallic materials using phase diagrams.
