After successfully completing this course the student will be able to;
- Explain the behaviour (stiffness, strength, toughness, fracture, thermal and environmental resistance) of engineering polymers by emphasizing important relationships among their chemical and physical structure, compounding, reinforcing and processing.
- Recognize different behaviour of polymers and metals by comparing the advantages and deficiencies of each other in design.
- Perform engineering design using polymers via term-project team work.
