The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Surrey cordially invites students and professionals to attend the course ‘Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering’ to be held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK 24 - 28 September 2007.
The principal aim is to give a broad introduction to the concepts and practices of Materials Science and Engineering and the structure, properties and applications of the different classes of engineering materials.
The basic structure and property concepts that are fundamental to the study of Materials are introduced. Following overviews of the major groups of materials (metals, polymers, ceramics and composites), the two themes of Materials Science and Materials Engineering are explored. Within Materials Science, the focus is on microstructural development and characterization, through diffraction and microscopy techniques. In Materials Engineering, the use and behaviour of materials in engineering applications is considered.
Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering is part of the Advanced Materials Programme: a range of eighteen short courses which may be taken individually or from which seven may be selected and linked together with assessments and a project, to form a modular MSc Degree programme. The course costs £1,075.
