Brief description of the content of the course (Course Catalog Description): Introduces materials and their properties; atomic view and architecture of solids; atomic motion in solids, mechanical, magnetic, electrical and optical properties of materials. Corrosion and degradation of solids. b. Pre-requisites or Co-requisites: CHEM 101 (Minimum Grade: D) and MATH 122 (Minimum Grade: D) and PHYS 101 (Minimum Grade: D). Corequisite: EXAM 081. Course Purpose within a Program of Study: In almost every case, the development and use of engineering technology today requires a consideration of materials. It is common for engineering breakthroughs to follow closely on the heels of the development of a new or improved material. Many potentially significant engineering designs lie dormant awaiting improved materials. Many engineering developments also reach a catastrophic end due to misuse of the available materials of construction. Contemporary engineers therefore need a basic understanding of materials in order to be able to capitalize on the development of new materials and to utilize the materials that are currently available effectively. Materials are endemic to all branches of engineering and without materials, engineers cannot function. Everything that is made utilizes materials in some form or another and this mandates informed design with, and selection of, materials on the part of the engineer. 1
Drexel University, College of Engineering ENGR 220, Fundamentals of Materials, Fall 2021-22 [202115] Materials thus represent a common denominator spanning across all engineering disciplines and a broad-based treatment of the fundamentals of materials is essential for all engineering students. Statement of Expected Learning: ENGR 220 is a 4-credit course taught via 3 hours of lecture and 2 hours of recitation each week. Lectures will focus on the presentation and discussion
