Introduction
This unit introduces students to the use of materials in an engineering context. Students will learn the properties used to classify materials from an engineering perspective, and how these are determined. Students will apply this knowledge to characterise materials using experimental testing and then compare this to supplier data. Using these results, students will identify treatments and processes that alter material properties to meet design requirements. This unit is a foundation unit for all engineering disciplines and the knowledge gained will be applied throughout the degree.
