"An Introduction to Materials Engineering and Science for Chemical and Materials
Engineers" provides a solid background in materials engineering and science for
chemical and materials engineering students. This book: Organizes topics on two
levels; by engineering subject area and by materials class.Incorporates
instructional objectives, active-learning principles, design-oriented problems,
and web-based information and visualization to provide a unique educational
experience for the student.Provides a foundation for understanding the structure
and properties of materials such as ceramics/glass, polymers, composites,
bio-materials, as well as metals and alloys.Takes an integrated approach to the
subject, rather than a "metals first" approach.
