This lecture unit is part of a set created by Mike Ashby to help introduce students to materials, processes and rational selection.
The Teaching Resources website aims to support teaching of materials-related courses in Design, Engineering and Science.
Resources come in various formats and are aimed primarily at undergraduate education.
Some of the resources are open access and students can access them. Others are only available to educators using CES EduPack. www.grantadesign.com/education/resources
