Materials (metals, alloys, polymers) in engineering service; relationship of interatomic bonding, crystal structure and defect structure (vacancies, dislocations) to material properties; polymers, phase diagrams and alloys; microstructure control (heat treatment) and mechanical properties; material failure; corrosion. Includes: Experiential Learning Activity Precludes additional credit for CIVE 2700. Prerequisite(s): Second-year status in Engineering. Lectures three hours a week, problem analysis and laboratory three hours a week.
