Core Course Learning Objectives (Separated)
  • Explain the concept of the building blocks of materials (for example:  crystal and non-crystalline) that are interacted upon in material deformation.*
  • Explain the alloying mechanisms that are used in designing engineering materials for specific applications, such as the achievement of specific physical and chemical properties.
  • Explain the mechanical forces, stress, and strains that interact on the movement of materials during deformation.
  • Identify the heat treating processes of normalizing, hardening, tempering, and annealing, and their effects on engineering materials.*
  • Explain the relationship of the physical and chemical properties of materials to their traditional and non-traditional applications.
  • Identify the physical testing instruments and be able to interpret the data provided by those instruments.*
  • Identify the changes in shop procedures due to the introduction of new materials.
