Title: List common engineering materials and common applications of each.
Course: Engineering Analysis and Applications II (21016) > Section: Examining Engineering Materials and Manufacturing

Listing should include

- ceramics (e.g., shuttle tile, glass container)
- composites (e.g., PC board, surfboard)
- metals (including alloys) (e.g., light bulb filament, building materials)
- polymers (e.g., recyclable consumer products, PVC piping)
- forestry products (e.g., building materials, paper)
- emerging materials (e.g., nanotubes).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the most important characteristic of a ceramic material? Why?
- What is a composite material? What makes composite materials superior for certain applications?
- What are the major types of plastics? How are they similar to each other? How are they different from each other?
- What is the difference between ferrous and non-ferrous material?
- What types of products would be composed of ferrous material? Why?
- What types of products would be composed of non-ferrous material? Why?
