Course / Course Details
By - Parthiban AK
Students should have a basic understanding of physics, chemistry, and engineering mathematics. Prior exposure to fundamental engineering concepts such as forces, heat transfer, and electrical principles is helpful. Willingness to participate in laboratory experiments, data interpretation, and technical reporting is required to understand real-world material behaviour.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the properties of engineering materials and their role in product design and manufacturing. It covers mechanical properties such as strength, hardness, ductility, and toughness; thermal properties including conductivity and thermal expansion; and electrical and magnetic characteristics relevant to electronic and electromagnetic devices. The course also explains optical and chemical properties important for corrosion resistance and specialized applications. Students will learn material testing methods used to evaluate performance and predict behavior under different loads, temperatures, and environmental conditions. Emphasis is placed on selecting suitable materials for engineering applications and understanding how improper selection can lead to failure.
