Test Your Knowledge of Materials Science and Engineering

• Materials science and engineering can be subdivided into materials science and materials engineering subdisciplines.
• Materials science investigates the relationships between the structures and properties of materials.
• Materials engineering designs or engineers the structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties.
• Materials scientists develop or synthesize new materials, while materials engineers create new products or systems using existing materials.
• Structure refers to the arrangement of a material's internal components, from subatomic to macroscopic levels.
• Property is a material trait in terms of the kind and magnitude of response to a specific imposed stimulus.
• Important properties of solid materials can be grouped into six categories: mechanical, electrical, thermal, magnetic, optical, and deteriorative.
• Processing and performance are also important components in the science and engineering of materials.
• The structure of a material depends on how it is processed.
• A material's performance is a function of its properties.
