Introduction to Material Science

Why do engineers need to know about materials? Metals, polymers, ceramics, composites — what are the key characteristics of each class of material and which is best suited for a given industrial application? How can service conditions change the performance of materials? This compact undergraduate textbook gives you, the engineer, insight into these questions and the information you need to effectively interact with materials experts from all walks of life and gain a foothold in your budding career as a materials-literate engineer.

A fun approach to teaching science that uses cooking to demonstrate principles of chemistry for undergraduate students who are not science majors, high school students, culinary students, and home cooks.
