Skills you'll gain

There are 6 modules in this course

This is the first of three Coursera courses that mirror the Introduction to Materials Science class that is taken by most engineering undergrads at Georgia Tech. The aim of the course is to help students better understand the engineering materials that are used in the world around them. This first section covers the fundamentals of materials science including atomic structure and bonding, crystal structure, atomic and microscopic defects, and noncrystalline materials such as glasses, rubbers, and polymers.

Atomic Structure and Bonding [Difficulty: Easy || Student Effort: 2hrs]

Crystalline Structure [Level of Difficulty: Medium || Student Effort: 2hrs 30mins]

Point Defects and Diffusion [Level of Difficulty: Medium || Student Effort: 2hrs 30mins]

Linear, Planar, and Volumetric Defects [Level of Difficulty: Medium || Student Effort: 2hrs 40mins]

Noncrystalline and Semicrystalline Materials [Level of Difficulty: Medium || Student Effort: 2hrs 30mins]
