ENGINEERING MATERIALS
AZCCruz, MatE 10.
ENGINEERING MATERIALS
Merriam-Webster:
The work of designing structures, new products or systems
by using scientific methods.
Wikipedia:
The application of scientific, economic, social and practical
knowledge in order to design, build, and maintain
structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.
AZCCruz, MatE 10.
ENGINEERINGMATERIALS
Everytime you see this word, replace it with STUFF.
Merriam-Webster:
A substance which composes something.
Since we live on the planet Earth, virtually ALL of our stuff
comes from the crust and the atmosphere.
AZCCruz, MatE 10.
ENGINEERING MATERIALS
Stuff used for the purposes of
achieving the goals of engineering
practice.
The characteristics of these materials
are usually engineered themselves!
AZCCruz, MatE 10.
ENGINEERING MATERIALS
AZCCruz, MatE 10.
ENGINEERING MATERIALS
The design of new stuff for certain
applications by using scientific,
economic, social, and practical
knowledge.
AZCCruz, MatE 10.
MATERIALS SCIENCE
Deals with the search for
knowledge about internal
structure, properties, and
processing of materials.
Investigate relationships
between structure and property
MATERIALS ENGINEERING
Deals with the application of
knowledge gained through
materials science for new
products.
On the basis of these structure-
property relationships, design
the structure of the material to
produce desired properties.
