Time: T/Th: 11:00-12:15 PMRoom: JD3504
Instructor: Dr. R. D. Conner Dept. of Manufacturing System Engineering and Management
Prerequisites: CHEM 101, PHYS220A, PHYS220ALCorequisites: MATH 150B.
Textbook: Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering, 3nd Ed. 2008.
D. Callister, Jr. J. Wiley & Sons, NY
Course Description: An introductory course in engineering materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites. Study of atomic and crystalline structures of materials. Application of basic principles to the study of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior of materials. Selection of materials in engineering applications based on materials properties and processing. Design project on materials properties, selection or application.
The learning objectives are: To understand the principles of engineering and science in applications of materials and design. To learn to find information in literature and other available sources. To learn to use information systems (computer, internet, and other available sources) in engineering practice.
Methods of Students evaluation:
• Grading Policy
• Homework 10.0 %
• Mid-term Exams 30 %
• Term paper 15 %
• Design Project 15%
• Final Exam 30%
No Make Up Exams
• Homework: Homework problems will be passed out in class. Each student will turn in homework one week after it is assigned. On the day homework is due, students will be randomly selected to solve selected homework problems at the board, explaining to the class how each problem is worked. Students are encouraged to work together on homework. Students will be evaluated on both the quality of their written answers and board presentations.
• Exams: Exams will be based on homework and information provided in lecture and assigned reading. All exams will be closed book. The final will be cumulative. Relevant formulas, tables, etc. will be provided.
• Term Paper: Each student will write a 4-page term paper on a topic of interest in materials. Term papers are due on October 26, 2010.
• Design Presentation: The class will be divided evenly into groups for a materials selection design project. Projects for each group will be assigned by the instructor. Each group will write a report on their respective project, as well as make an oral presentation to the class.
Grades will be based on the weighted average of the total number of points accumulated by the student during the semester. Letter grades will be assigned as follows:
100 - 90 A
90 – 87.5 A-
87.5 – 82.5 B+
82.5 – 77.5 B
77.5 – 72.5 B-
72.5 – 67.5 C+
67.6 – 62.5 C
62.5 – 60 C-
<60 D
<50 F
Suggestions for success in this class:• 1. Read the relevant material in the book (preferably
before the lecture topic)• 2. Review and understand the examples given in the
book.• 3. Do the assigned homework. If you are having
difficulty with a particular concept, work additional problems given in the book on that topic that have the answers given in the back of the book.
• 4. Come to office hours.• 5. Seek help: student services, tutors, etc.
Academic success is directly proportional to the amount of time devoted to study.

The Materials Science Mantra:
The properties of a material depend upon its composition and microstructure
The microstructure of a material depends upon its composition and the processing that it undergoes
