Materials Science and Engineering 361
Mechanical Properties of Engineering Materials
Catalog Data:
Continuum and microstructural aspects of mechanical behavior; elastic and plastic behavior under simple and combined stress systems. Sp Qtr. Required.
Prerequisites:
MSE 205, Math 153; Prereq or concur: ME 420 or 440 or permission of the instructor. Not open to students with credit for MSE 561.
Time Distribution:
Three 1-hr. lectures
Textbooks:
[Please check with course instructor.]
Objectives:
To provide a quantitative basis for understanding the deformation of solids both elastically and plastically. ABET criteria 3 a, b, c, e and k.
Topics/Content:
1. Course covers fundamentals of deformation from both a mechanics and materials point of view.
2.Analytical and computational skills developed in quantitative problem sets.
3. Develop a fundamental understanding of how microstructure controls material deformation properties.
4. Prepare students for graduate research and future employment in the areas of the mechanical behavior of materials and design with materials.
Professional Component Content:
Engineering science: 1.5 credits
Engineering design: 1.5 credits
Design Component Content:
In the lectures in MSE 342 (concurrent), students learn the associated principles associated with the design and operation of major instruments and techniques for structural and chemical characterization of materials. In the labs they integrate these principles with their own hands-on experience with an X-ray difrractometer, search/match software, SEM/EDS, OM and quantitative image analysis.
Relation to Program Objectives:
Course covers fundamentals of deformation science and engineering (Program Objective #1). Analytical and computational skills developed in quantitative problem sets (Program Objective #2). Prepare students for graduate research and future employment in the area of deformation of materials (Program Objective #4).
Academic Integrity, Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct may be found in any action that tends to distort the accurate assessment of any student’s individual accomplishments that are evaluated for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit. Note that a student may be guilty of academic misconduct, for example, by cheating, collaborating, plagiarizing, or by allowing another student to cheat, collaborate, or plagiarize. Note also that the distortion applies, for example, to exams, homework assignments, and laboratory work. To the extent that any class activity (for example: attendance or participation) is used for evaluation for the purpose of grading or conferring academic credit, falsifying or distorting such activity, or permitting another student to falsify or distort such activity, represents academic misconduct.
Additional guidance about what represents academic integrity and misconduct, and related university-wide policies and procedures are available at the following locations:

Course-specific exceptions or amplifications to the departmental and university statements outlined above will be provided by the faculty instructor in writing, preferably as part of the course syllabus.
Note: Students should not request nor accept guidance on these matters from a teaching assistant, fellow student, or anyone other than the faculty instructor of record for this course.
Disabilities Statement
Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact of a disability should contact the Office for Disability Services at 614-292-3307 in room 150 Pomerene Hall to coordinate reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.
