Have you ever wondered why ceramics are hard and brittle while metals tend to be ductile? Why some materials conduct heat or electricity while others are insulators? Why adding just a small amount of carbon to iron results in an alloy that is so much stronger than the base metal? In this course, you will learn how a material’s properties are determined by the microstructure of the material, which is in turn determined by composition and the processing that the material has undergone. This is the second of three Coursera courses that mirror the Introduction to Materials Science class that is taken by most engineering undergrads at Georgia Tech. The aim of the course is to help students better understand the engineering materials that are used in the world around them. This first section covers the fundamentals of materials science including atomic structure and bonding, crystal structure, atomic and microscopic defects, and noncrystalline materials such as glasses, rubbers, and polymers.

this course is very important for improve our knowledge .lecture series are very clear .so thank a lot for giving us this opportunity
JC
Complete knowledge on eutectic system and different curves b/w temperature and the composition ,single and two component systems etc.
TK
Course is very good and informative. Nicely presented by resource person and clear explanation of phase transformations and nucleation development.
MJ
I wonder I'll ever find a course as organised and resourceful as this one. One of the best courses on the web by one of the best universities in the globe. Thank you G.Tech.
SR
I Great thank to Professor Thomas H. Sanders, Jr. for providing valuable information . I joyed a lot on Material Processing course and i learnt new information.
AP
the course is well organised and very descriptive. prof. Sanders has explained the concepts very clearly with the help of graphs and theoretical calculations.
EK
I would like thanks to Georgia Institute of Technology, specially Professor Thomas H. Sanders Jr. and Coursera to providing a skill enhance platform and opportunities.
JC
A complete guide to phase transformation and underlying principles. Such a wonderful course for 'materialists'. Thanks for your crisp delivery.
NC
However the course is good to understand the processes of the concepts of materials and the importance gathering the equations and other suggestions are good.Thanks&Regards
Y
You are awesome about the material process and metallurgy. I am expecting from you to develop lots of material issues. Thanks for evertything.
RR
This course is simply amazing. I had a great deal of understanding about this subject and was confident thanks to this course.
DU
Very informative and descriptive course. It encourages a person to do self calculations. Lecture and the material available are all very well explained. Would love to take similar courses.

this course has made be able to look into phase diagram from different prespectives and make me understand the origin and modification in phase diagram CCT and IT diagrams. This course could have been made more helpful by adding an example of any grade of steel and performing the calculations and experiment on that specific grade.
Very good course, nice pace, very good graphics. Concise. I would have expected more information on metal processing than on metal properties. If you have a good recommendation on a course about metal forming, I would appreciate that. But still a very good course. Thank you very much!
Very much satisfied with the course contents and also the course delivery. A truly exciting experience. I would love to register for more courses. My sincere gratitude to Prof. Thomas Sanders, a great personality in our Materials science community.
He is the best instructor that gives me more insight and useful strategies than the average teacher. Video lessons are very short and often average 10 minutes in length, which makes it easy to absorb lessons. However Its a good Experience
The course deals with the detailed study of the material processing. I found the course suitable for materials engineer either working in research and development field or to increase the knowledge in the area of materials processing. The lecture delivery and content is also very good.

I Great thank to Professor Thomas H. Sanders, Jr. for providing valuable information . I joyed a lot on Material Processing course and i learnt new information.
I enjoyed this courese. It is going to be very usefull for me to carryon my research work. Thanku Coursera and JTU
Coursera is a very good platform it provides a platform to learn material processing with better course content .
This is a very informative and academic course for indepth knowledge about various material processing techniques
Gained knowledge in material science & the deliver of the lecture in depth which helps us to learn more and more.
It was more the continuation of the course "Material Behaviour". As such, it as good as that one
Very Easy and great, quizzes were so easy. It hardly took me anytime to complete this course.
Great learning with Prof. Thomas Sanders
Concise and thorough! Loved it!
The content was very helpful
it was a great course.
EXCELLENT TEACHING
