- Webelements All you need to know about the chemical elements!
In this course you will understand the mechanical behavior of materials (and metals in particular). This will include the deformation behavior of metals and the ways that metals can fail. More importantly, you will study different methods that are used in the industry to make materials stronger. For more information, please read the course outline.

Assignments
The third In-Tutorial Exercise will take place on Friday March 23rd
Sample practice questions will be posted here. Solutions will be discussed during the tutorials. They will NOT be marked.
These questions will be used as the basis for the In-Tutorial Problems which will take place every 2nd tutorial. They are worth 10% total.
