Course Objectives
•to describe, both
conceptually and analytically, how system components work and to model function or performance using
scientific and engineering
principles learned as part of your undergraduate education.
•to participate in an
integrated design activity using fundamentals of “systems engineering”, where performance and behavior
have to be analyzed in light of
consumer expectations and merchantability of the design.
•to gain experience in
the selection of materials and optimization of behavior by using a systematic methodology which
combines materials properties
with the engineering function of the process or product design.
•to defend materials
selection effectively both orally and in written form.
•to select and use
appropriate industrial literature, internet data bases and library resources in the solution of materials selection
and failure analysis problems.
