This course provides an overview of the broad discipline of materials science and provides students who do not specialize
in materials with an overview of materials and how materials used in the real world are designed and fabricated. Materials
science is a field of study that looks at a material's atomic and molecular structure, its microscopic and macroscopic properties,
and how different processes affect materials structure and properties. This course introduces fundamentals of fabrication
method and processing method (mechanical and thermal) of materials and their effects on structures and their properties. In
the first part, classification of materials and their characteristics based on the basic chemistry will be given, and also
their fabrication methods, mechanical processing and heat treatment procedures will be introduced. Then, in the second part,
students can learn about the effects of the fabrication, mechanical processing and thermal processing on their crystal structure,
microstructure, and properties like mechanical strength, from the viewpoints of thermodynamics.
This course provides an overview of the broad discipline of materials science and provides students who do not specialize
in materials with an overview of materials and how materials used in the real world are designed and fabricated. The purpose
of this course is to learn the types and characteristics of typical materials, and to learn about the structure, texture,
stability, strength, and physical properties of materials that change with manufacturing and processing methods.
