Objectives: To develop an awareness of the different classes of materials and the basic principles underlying their behavior. The course provides the scientific foundation for making informed decisions regarding materials selection and processing by revealing the relationships between the internal structures of matter, the processing methods and the resulting properties of engineering materials.
Required Textbook and Equipment:
- Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering: An Integrated Approach, William D. Callister, Jr. and David G. Rethwisch, Special 4th^ Edition for UIUC MATSE, Wiley, 2012

Grading Policy:
i>clicker and Participation (5%) i>clicker responses will be used to keep record of student in-class participation and attendance. To get the full participation points, you need to respond to 90% of the questions irrespective of whether your answer was correct or not. If a student uses someone else’s i>clicker then all his participation marks will be deducted.
Assignments (20%) There will be approximately 8 assignments throughout the semester. Assignments will be posted on compass and are due in class one week from the posting date. NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor for valid excuses.
- Valid excuses include, but are not limited to, deaths in the family, jury duty, hospitalization for illness, etc.
- Non-valid excuses include, but are not limited to, oversleeping, “my printer didn’t work,” “I wasn’t here when you assigned it,” etc. Students work in groups of 2****. No more than 2 students can be in a group. Only 1 assignment should be submitted with both students’ names on the front. Everyone is responsible for all materials covered.
Exams (25% each for a total of 75%) There will be three in-class exams. Exam topics will be announced in class. Exams are closed book. However, students are allowed a one-sided sheet of 8.5 ×11 inch paper of necessary expressions, formulas, notes, etc. to help you with the exams. Exams must be done independently, no group exam s. There will be no makeup exams. If you have a valid reason for missing an exam (i.e. doctor’s excuse, death in the family, etc.), you must contact the emergency dean as well as the instructor
