Overview
By the end of the Materials Science - 10 Things Every Engineer Should Know course offered by Coursera in partnership with UC Davis, you will be able to:
- Recognize the important aspects of the materials used in modern engineering applications,
- Explain the underlying principle of materials science: “structure leads to properties,”
- Identify the role of thermally activated processes in many of these important “things” – as illustrated by the Arrhenius relationship.
- Relate each of these topics to issues that have arisen (or potentially could arise) in your life and work.
