This comprehensive textbook serves as an essential resource for students seeking to develop their skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications. Taking a unique design-led approach that is broader in scope than other texts, Materials caters to the curriculum requirements of a diverse range of courses in the materials and design field, including introduction to materials science and engineering, engineering materials, materials selection and processing, and behavior of materials. In this updated edition, the book maintains its strong emphasis on visual communication while expanding its coverage of the physical basis of material properties and process selection.

The textbook is organized into five main sections, each covering a specific aspect of materials engineering. The first section provides an overview of the field, including the types of materials used in engineering, their properties, and their applications. The second section focuses on the physical basis of material properties, including thermodynamics, mechanics, and materials science. The third section discusses the process selection, including material selection, process design, and process optimization. The fourth section explores the behavior of materials, including their mechanical properties, electrical properties, and thermal properties. The fifth section covers advanced topics in materials engineering, such as nanotechnology, composites, and sustainability.

Throughout the textbook, numerous examples and case studies are provided to illustrate the concepts and applications of materials engineering. These examples help students to understand the practical implications of the material selection and processing decisions that they make in their engineering projects. In addition, the textbook includes a comprehensive glossary of terms and a list of references for further reading.

Overall, Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing, and Design is a highly valuable textbook for students studying materials engineering and related fields. Its unique design-led approach, broad coverage of topics, and emphasis on visual communication make it an essential resource for anyone seeking to develop their skills and understanding of materials properties and selection for engineering applications.
