Synopsis of Course Contents The objective of this course is to equip students with knowledge about the
fundamentals of engineering materials and fuels in order to analyze the
industrial production processes, and ultimately to extract the materials
(mostly ferrous & non-ferrous metals with little coverage of processing of
polymers).
