This course aims to provide undergraduate students with an introduction to the fundamental properties of materials and the techniques used to characterize and evaluate these properties. By the end of the course, students will be able to explain how the properties of materials are influenced by their chemical composition, atomic structure, and crystal structure. They will also understand how mechanical and thermal treatments impact material structure. Additionally, students will develop a foundational understanding of key materials characterization methods.
