Description

An Introduction to Materials Engineering and Science for Chemical and Materials Engineers provides a solid background in materials engineering and science for chemical and materials engineering students. This book:Organizes topics on two levels; by engineering subject area and by materials class. Incorporates instructional objectives, active-learning principles, design-oriented problems, and web-based information and visualization to provide a unique educational experience for the student. Provides a foundation for understanding the structure and properties of materials such as ceramics/glass, polymers, composites, bio-materials, as well as metals and alloys. Takes an integrated approach to the subject, rather than a "metals first" approach.

Description

"An Introduction to Materials Engineering and Science for Chemical and Materials Engineers is organized by both engineering subject area and materials class to give instructors versatility in structuring and presenting their courses. Detailed sections on metals and ceramics contain all the contents of a standard course. More advanced topics - found in sections on polymers, composites, and biomaterials - also receive ample and equivalent coverage. All topics are presented from the standpoint of fundamental engineering concepts of thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena. Additional engineering topics of materials processing and materials selection and design provide important practical instruction for tomorrow's materials engineers."--Jacket.
