Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering

Materials science refers to a unique combination of science and engineering, chemistry and physics, and imagination and logic. It is concerned with the discovery and design of novel materials, particularly solids. The four main types of materials studied and used in materials science include polymers, ceramics, metals, and semiconductors. Materials science and engineering (MSE) refers to an interdisciplinary study of useful matter. It applies principles of chemistry, physics, and engineerin...
