Module Overview

Learning Outcomes

  1. Contrast the mechanical behaviour of ceramics with that of metals and polymers
  2. Summarize the need to test ceramics in bending, rather than in a tensile test
  3. Explain the influence of porosity on the mechanical behaviour of ceramics
  4. Describe the stress concentration factor
  5. Use the stress concentration factor to explain the influence of crack length and of crack “sharpness” on the maximum stress in the material

Introductory Chemistry from a Materials Perspective
Project Display Image:

This online course will take an applied materials science approach to teaching chemistry at the introductory level. Chemistry is a common first year requirement in most engineering programs. Increasingly an applied approach is being used to teach this subject: blending traditional chemistry topics with materials science. In this project we propose to create a new online course at a foundational level that will fulfill the requirements for introductory chemistry with a materials approach.
