This course is designed to introduce, the structures and properties of the principal materials such as
metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites used in civil engineering. Students will also gain an
understanding of the processing and design limitations of materials. Topics fundamental to the further
study of materials, such as mechanical properties of metals and metal alloys and of concrete, thermal
expansion and thermal conductivity of construction materials, defects and failure in solids, corrosion and
degradation will be emphasized as foundations for future civil engineering courses.
