A course required for students in mechanical engineering. Structural properties of materials, practices and laboratory experiments to determine the properties of materials used in mechanical engineering. Materials examined will include metals, plastics, and composites. Topics include the molecular structures of these materials and mechanical properties, such as tensile, compressive, torsional, and fatigue, as well as other properties. Statistical methods are presented. The course consists of one lecture and one lecture/ laboratory per week. Student groups meet with instructor each week outside of class to review laboratory journal-style report drafts. This is a writing intensive course.
