Materials are the physical foundations for the development of science and technology. The human civilizations are historically designated by the evolution of materials, such as the Stone Age, the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Nowadays, materials science and technology support most of the industrial sectors, including aerospace, telecommunications, transportation, architecture, infrastructure and so on. Fundamentals of Materials Science is a core module for undergraduates majored in materials scie
This course was very effective. It would be more beneficial if financial aid is available
amazing and very useful course in growing one's career graph professional
This was the best way to learn about the Fundamentals of Materials Science.
I am very grateful to learn by international great teachers, Everything goes smoothly . Great course with basic to advance and clear all doubt. Thanks
good but need more improvements. Core Concepts of Material and not explained well
