Overview
Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering is designed to prepare materials engineers and scientists of the future. The strength of the book is in its balanced presentation of concepts in science of materials (basic knowledge) and engineering of materials (applied knowledge). The basic and applied concepts are integrated through concise textual explanations, relevant and stimulating imagery, detailed sample problems, electronic supplements, and homework problems. This textbook is therefore suitable for both an introductory course in materials at the sophomore level and a more advanced course in the subject area.




Key Features
•  All chapters have been updated to reflect the most recent available data and reviewed for accuracy of content, images, and tables.
•  Expanded sections on various topics such as diffusivity data, glass transition temperature, classification of composite materials.
•  For most chapters, new problems have been developed that are in-depth and reflective, mostly in the synthesis and evaluation category.
•  The end-of-chapter problems have been classified based on Bloom’s Taxonomy according to the learning/understanding level expected from the student by the instructor.
•  New images representing more recent engineering applications have been included in all chapters such as the iron-carbon phase diagram.
•  The state of the art has been updated in microprocessor manufacturing, capability, and design
