| DESCRIPTION | The study-unit introduces materials engineering in the context of integrated product development, and describes the strengths, limitations and potential of all categories of engineering materials as product design and development solutions. Each category of materials is defined, and the properties, processing and design criteria relevant to each are introduced. The selection of materials is also considered as an integral part of the design and development process. Study-unit Aims: To provide a comprehensive introduction to the diverse materials available as potential choices in product design and development, and identify and present the key features and potential of each in the context of the integrated product development process. The study-unit aims to familiarize students with materials engineering in product development and to provide the necessary tools to understand their properties and applicability of various materials as required by engineering products. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - List and describe the important material characteristics which dictate their suitability for use in engineering products. - Explain how these characteristics provide opportunities for product development. - Describe the limitations of different material categories and how these can be overcome or avoided. - Explain the principles of selection of materials in the product development and design context. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Identify the characteristics which make materials suitable to meet particular requirements for development and design of engineering products - Identify the limitations which can result from specific material or material processing choices. - Select the correct approach to the selection of materials and apply the chosen technique for the design or development of engineering components.
