Materials courses can help you learn about the properties of metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites, as well as techniques for testing and analyzing these materials. You can build skills in material selection, failure analysis, and sustainability practices in material usage. Many courses introduce tools like CAD software for design, finite element analysis for stress testing, and various laboratory techniques for material characterization, allowing you to apply your knowledge in practical settings.
