ENGINEERING MATERIALS

About this Course

Course Description

This course covers four main engineering materials i.e. cementation, metallic, organic and inorganic materials. The emphasis are on concrete, steel, timber, bricks, bitumen, green and advanced materials. They are studied with reference to their compositions, properties, application, modification of some of their properties with respect to environmental effects and their behaviour at service. Presentation for problem solving activities is also engaged to teach students to communicate effectively, comprehend and write effective reports and documentation, perform effective presentation, give and receive clear instructions

Course Learning Outcomes

1 ) apply knowledge on properties of engineering and construction materials for civil engineering application
2 ) Demonstrate effective communication on complex engineering activities related to engineering/construction materials with the engineering community.
3 ) design solutions for systems or components utilizing materials that meet specified needs for public health, safety, societal and environmental considerations
