Exclusions
Description	The aim of the module is to introduce the range of materials and their key properties used in engineering in order to allow them to select the appropriate materials for a given application. The module also introduces fundamental science that determines the electrical or mechanical properties of materials, such as atomic / molecular structures. In addition, students will also be introduced to software which will allow them to model the properties and behaviour of engineering materials and analyse the results of experiments.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: ꮧExplain using mathematical arguments how the macroscopic properties of materials are determined by their microscopic and atomic structure and by physical laws Choose suitable materials for a well-defined engineering application where components have simple geometries. Use technical computing software in order to model the properties and behaviour of engineering materials and analyse the results of experiments.
