Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering

Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering, 7th Edition, prepares future materials engineers and scientists by combining fundamental scientific concepts with applied engineering principles. The text links basic knowledge in materials science directly to practical material selection.

Initial coverage examines atomic structure and bonding, crystalline and amorphous structures, and diffusion in solids. The volume introduces major material categories including engineering alloys and composites, while also discussing functional properties and biomaterials.

Intended for sophomore-level introductory courses or advanced junior- and senior-level sequences, the textbook includes digital learning tools through McGraw Hill Connect.
