Learner Reviews & Feedback for Materials Science: 10 Things Every Engineer Should Know by University of California, Davis

This is one of the best course I have taken on Material Science! Down to earth explanatory, indeed every Engineer should know these basics. Thank you.

Good

very useful course and detailed explanation are given.

It is easy to understand about material science for engineers.

brought me, some good general ideas about enginering materials

learn more knowledge

Great class on materials and how crystal and atomic bonds lead to material properties. The chapter on semiconductors was new material for me and very valuable to introduce me to valence and conduction bands. The other material was good review for me as a Mech. Eng.

Dr. Shackelford has a knack for explaining engineering principles well. Thank you!

Good course to refresh what was learned in college

Good topic to learn for mechanical enginners

it helps a lot

got to learn many things. cleared my basics

Is a great course to review topics related to materials engineering. I recommend for new graduates or for those who want to start college.

Thank you for the very useful course !

A must for Engineers associated with materials.

simply the best

It was a good learning experience.

Well designed . I especially like the way Prof is explaining stuffs with very ease.

I really enjoyed this course!! Thanks.

An excellent short introduction to materials science for engineers. If you haven't already read Shackleford's textbook, this video lecture series would be an excellent primer.

If you have recently studied undergraduate materials science or engineering then you will not need this course as it doesn't have time to delve too deeply into the theory. However, if you are like me and a few years out of education, it's an excellent albeit brief recap of materials and failure modes. It's possible to binge at 2x speed and complete this series in a day.

Great course to review the topic of materials. I am currently working as a mechanical engineer and it has helped me to refresh the fundamental concepts covered during my degree. The material is presented in a clear way and I think this is a good approach to the subject.

Excellent intro to Materials Science. The course covers the fundamental concepts such as yield stress, tensile strength, ductility and toughness without getting too involved in complex formulas. I have a background in mechanical engineering and found this course to be a good review of materials course I took in University.

Very concentrative! The teacher demonstrates the basic concept and acknowledge that every engineer should know. Very impressive. Thanks!

Helps you improve your knowledge about the metallurgical concepts.

Nice, this is by far my most exciting course, i am only 17 and in my country i don't learn a wide range of science in my syllabus. This helps me understood a lot.
