The aim of this course is to introduce materials and engineering fundamentals required to carry out failure analysis (FA), covering topics from the FA procedure to the materials principles behind failures, recommendations towards failure prevention, etc. This is a platform on which you will learn and apply materials science and engineering knowledge to identify the basic modes of materials failure and investigate the root cause of the failure. With a proper understanding of how the materials and the systems fail, you will be able to make proper suggestions to mitigate or prevent future failure through improved design or a more appropriate choice of materials. This course intends to enhance your knowledge and application skills required as an MSE graduate and to increase your competitiveness in the job market.
By the end of this course, you (as a student) would be able to:
