Introduction
This course provides an overall perspective of the important materials properties, namely, mechanical, optical, magnetic and electrical properties. The concept of each of these properties and the characterization method will be introduced.
The aim of this course is to introduce central concepts in the properties of materials that will underpin the program. This will form a solid platform for engineers to launch into higher level courses that utilize material properties in designing structures, devices and systems.
