Unit Code: MCD517

Unit Name: Applications of Material Science

Description: Engineering technologists are expected to have practical knowledge of the fundamental structure, properties (physical, mechanical, chemical) and supplied form of common engineering materials. This course will assist in the evaluation and selection of materials suitable for given design and/or manufacturing processes. The major focus will be directed towards iron and iron alloys (steels), with additional examination of non-iron metals and alloys (aluminium, copper, etc.), ceramics, polymers, and composite materials. You will also learn about material corrosion and destructive and non-destructive examination.
