| Level of Course Unit | First Cycle | Objectives of the Course | The objective of this course is to introduce students to the behavior, constitutive properties and testing of engineering materials | Name of Lecturer(s) | Doç. Dr. Engin Yener | Learning Outcomes | 1 | Understanding the material properties that are used in engineering | 2 | Conducting the standard tests on materials | 3 | Getting knowledge about the high technology instruments that are used in engineering testing | 4 | Studying and making tests in cooperation with the students from other engineering disciplines | 5 | Presentation of laboratory test results as a cooperative study report |
| Mode of Delivery | Daytime Class | Prerequisites and co-requisities | None | Recommended Optional Programme Components | None | Course Contents | The general behavior of engineering materials and their effect on various applications in engineering are discussed. The course also introduces students to common methods of testing for properties of materials, testing equipment, and the interpretation and presentation of data. The laboratory assignments are designed to provide the students with an opportunity to study the actual behavior of materials such as steel, concrete, wood and asphalt as applied to civil engineering problems. The Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards are used throughout the course. | Weekly Detailed Course Contents | |
