CIE 110 - Materials

The structure, properties, and testing of engineering materials and their use in constructed facilities. Includes metals, woods, concrete, bituminous mixtures, plastics, insulation, adhesives and corrosion of materials. Engineering design is introduced by readings and discussions on creativity, the design process and the concepts of marginal economic analysis, probability of failure and safety factors. Design problems include design of concrete mixtures and insulating systems to satisfy specific realistic situations taking into account uncertainty, safety, economic factors and intangibles, as well as technical considerations.
