Assignment 1: Discussion-Materials Science: Designing Form to Fit Function
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field where science and technology are used to develop and apply our understanding of matter at the atomic level to improve existing or to make new materials. It is a fusion of the basic scientific fields of physics and chemistry where knowledge of atomic theory, molecular bonding, and the macroscopic properties of metals, ceramics, and plastics come together to solve manufacturing and engineering problems.
Use the Internet, library resources, and your textbook to research materials science. Do the following:
Discuss scientific and technical concepts related to materials science. Use the manufacturing of one of the following materials as the basis for your response:
