Résumé

The Fourth Edition of The Science and Engineering of Materials has two primary objectives. The first continues the theme of earlier editions by providing a clear presentation of the relationship between the structure of a material, its processing, and its properties (see Chapter 1). The principal goals of a materials scientist and engineer are to make existing materials better and to invent or discover phenomena that will allow development of new materials, devices, and applications.

All engineers, in all specialties, can benefit from a thorough knowledge of materials science. Materials science underlies many technological advances related to energy, information, and the environment. Having a basic understanding of materials and their application not only makes for a better engineer, but also aids in the design process for any device or application under consideration.

It is important for today's engineers to understand the constraints of material behavior in order to select the best material for a given application. We believe that engineers who have a thorough understanding of the basic concepts of atomic and molecular structure, and who know which material properties lend themselves to the most efficient and cost-effective processes, will make design decisions to develop the best products and applications.
