Materials Science 124 (MLS521S) is a core course given to engineering students in the second semester of their first year of study. The course covers the basic concepts that explain material properties based on atomic bonding and crystal structures of solid materials. It explores mechanical, magnetic and electronic properties of materials, as well as highlighting some manufacturing processes to come up with useful components for various applications. It winds up by looking at corrosion and degradation of various engineering applications.
