This lecture note
covers all the essential issues that need to be understood by an engineer
concerning the interplay between materials, structure, and properties.
Issues such as metallurgy, crystal physics, and Neumann's symmetry principle
are dealt with in detail. Equilibrium thermodynamics, neutron diffraction,
and spectroscopy are also touched on, with all discussions on the major
classes of materials and the emerging field of nanostructured materials.
Focusing on practical applications, it also takes into discussion the most
recent concepts, like Moore's Law and their implications to materials
engineering. Dedicated to the students and professionals in engineering,
this note establishes a scientific basis in choosing and performing the
materials.

Lecture note on earth material:
Fundamentals of earth materials, strategic minerals, metals, and their
geochemical importance and significance Earth materials-Atoms and elements,
elements and their formation in the universe, cosmochemistry Chemical bonds
that characterize Earth materials with symmetry, lattices, point groups, and
space groups. It further discusses metamorphic petrology, which is rich in
dealing with the processes and transformations that occur in Earth's crust.
The resource is also important to students of geology, mineralogy, and other
related courses for it provides an overview of the material composition and
structure of the Earth.
