Course Description | This course will use a project-based approach to foster materials knowledge for industrial design. Functional and expressive properties of materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, glasses, wood, and composites will be discussed. Material selection methods will be explained. Several short projects will be given to students concentrating on the material aspects of given products and new possibilities with alternative materials. |
