This course will be focused on providing comprehensive understanding of scientific concepts and principles used for advanced structural materials, with emphasis on the advanced metallic materials. It will include the microstructures of solids, processing and fabrication, compositional adjustment, metallurgical principles, and development of structure-property correlation. The goal of this course is to achieve that senior and graduate students are able to (1) understand the basic concepts of the advanced structural materials; (2) select and design different structural materials with superior properties for various engineering fields; (3)identify and solve some critical issues in manufacturing and practical applications of these materials
