Modules

Atomic Structure and Bonding

Learn how atoms bond together and form solids. Explore different crystal structures, like FCC, BCC, and HCP, and compare crystalline and amorphous materials.

Crystal Defects and Microstructure

Discover imperfections in crystals (vacancies, dislocations, grain boundaries) and how microstructures control material strength and behavior.

Mechanical Properties

Understand how materials respond to stress and strain. Study elasticity, plasticity, toughness, and why some materials bend while others break.

Thermal, Electrical, Optical & Magnetic Properties

Explore how materials conduct heat and electricity, interact with light, and respond to magnetic fields.

Processing & Classes of Materials

Learn how metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites are made and shaped. See how processing methods, like heat treatments, change material performance.

Characterization & Modern Materials

Get introduced to tools scientists use to examine materials and dive into new areas of the field like nanomaterials, biomaterials, and energy materials.

Materials Science

From atoms to applications, explore the science of the things that shape our world.
