Materials Science in Civil Engineering

Explore the role of materials science in Civil Engineering (CE) through a combination of chemistry, physics, and mechanics. Understand the behavioral aspects of materials by predicting their behavior and engineering properties. Study topics such as forces, deformations, physical and chemical properties, and measurement standards in CE. Learn about the atomic nature and microstructure of materials, as well as how altered structures customize material properties. Develop an understanding of the accuracy, reliability, and standards in engineering materials.
