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.
This course is part of:
- FlexiMasters in Materials Characterization

Date(s): 15 Jan 2024 to 19 Apr 2024
Venue: NTU Virtual Learning Enviroment
Registration Closing Date: 11 Dec 2023
At the end of the course, learners are able to:
1. Choose standard experiments to measure specific properties.
2. Recommend materials for specific applications.
3. Explain the reasons for a material to exhibit certain properties and suggest methodology to improve them.Topics covered:
This course will cover mechanical, thermal, optical, magnetic and electric properties. The following topics will be studied.
1. Elastic, hardness, fracture, fatigue of materials.
2. Understand light interaction with solids and its effects on refraction, reflection, absorption, transmission and others.
3. Understand different sources of magnetic moments. Understand the nature and sources of different magnetic phenomena.
4. Understand the electron band structure for solid materials, charge storing capacity, ferroelectricity and piezoelectricity
This course is conducted in asynchronous e-learning.
Suitable for professionals working in engineering, Quality Control, Failure Analysis, Manufacturing and R&D.
