This course introduces learners to the main families of engineering materials and their practical applications. It covers ferrous and non-ferrous metals, superalloys, ceramics, composites, thermoplastics, thermosetting polymers, and smart materials. Learners study key properties such as strength, hardness, ductility, toughness, density, corrosion resistance, thermal behavior, electrical conductivity, and magnetic behavior.
The course also explains how engineering materials are processed and improved through heat treatment methods such as annealing, normalising, hardening, tempering, and case hardening. In addition, learners explore common testing methods, including tensile/ductility tests, shear tests, hardness tests, impact tests, and bending stiffness tests. A strong emphasis is placed on selecting the most suitable material for a product by considering function, safety, cost, availability, manufacturing process, sustainability, and expected service conditions.
