This unit aims for students to understand the structure and properties of engineering materials, and how these can be controlled in processing according to product design. The course provides a practical and theoretical introduction to the recent development of advanced manufacturing and the role of engineering materials in it. At the end of this unit students should have the capability to select proper materials for engineering design by considering emerging manufacturing technologies including additive manufacturing. Course contents will include: metal, polymers and polymer composite materials; introductory advanced manufacturing; the processing-structure-property relationships; selection of materials for advanced manufacturing in mechanical design.
