Program Overview

Introduction to Materials Engineering Unit

The Materials Engineering unit, ENG223, aims to provide civil and mechanical engineering students with the necessary tools to systematically select appropriate materials for a particular application. This process builds upon knowledge of fundamental material properties developed in previous units, enabling students to identify suitable materials for a given application.
