Engineering Materials Technology

For courses in Materials Technology, Materials and Processes Technology, Materials Science and Technology, Industrial Materials, Composites and Ceramics, Non-Metallic Materials and Building Materials.

Emphasizing basic concepts-supported by current and cutting-edge industrial practices and applications-this exceptionally readable text/reference on engineering materials is designed to help students develop problem-solving abilities in such areas as materials evaluation and selection, materials processes selection, failure analysis, and materials testing. It focuses on materials in the systems context, and prepares students to work with current engineering materials as well as with new and/or improved technologies that influence many aspects of engineering materials technology. Over 350 Experiments and Demonstrations from the National Educators' Workshops are referenced throughout. This book has also been successful in interdisciplinary Material Science, Technology and Society courses for non-technical students.
