Materials form the foundation for engineering applications. Ultimately, all engineering designs are limited by materials properties. Thus, engineers, regardless of discipline, should gain and understanding and appreciation of the concepts that govern materials properties. The present course “Nanostructured Materials” will provide the engineering students with the fundamental principles that govern structure-processing-properties interrelationships in a variety of different materials classes from the macro down to the nano scale. From this understanding, the engineer will have the toolset to devise means to exploit engineered materials for a variety of applications.
