Full Description
This book provides students with the essentials needed for a semester-long, introductory course in materials science presented in a novel way. It is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of materials science and engineering, as well as current topics of high technological importance, in an easy-to-understand and engaging manner. This book, An Engaging Approach to the Science and Engineering of Materials: The SPHERE, differs from conventional textbooks in several ways:
• It introduces materials science and engineering in a novel, immersive, and engaging manner involving a journey of discovery. In essence, it is a traditional textbook that is packaged within a novel-like storyline of discovery. Instructors can easily teach out of the traditional textbook.
• Throughout its pages, it provides a recurring dialogue between the student and the professor on all topics to answer many common questions and misconceptions that students tend to have.
• It incorporates a devoted chapter on nanomaterials, a current area of major technological importance.
• It also provides historical and ethical insights into materials throughout its pages.
