TOP REVIEWS FROM MATERIALS SCIENCE: 10 THINGS EVERY ENGINEER SHOULD KNOW
This course helps me in learning about the stress -strain curve and the mechanical properties of different materials and the tests to find the mechanical properties that a material can with stand.
A special thankd to Mr.James Shackelford, who guided me throughout this course journey. The way he explain all material science topic is fablous. I enjoyed this course and once again i thank you sir
The course was really very good, As a mechanical Engineer it has reminded all basic things regarding Types of material, Different types of bond, Heat Treatment , Semiconductor material etc. Thank You
We know how vast the material science filed is. This course is the one of the best and effective way to gain insight of important materials science aspects for the engineering applications
