Course Objectives	To show the link between materials, properties, and products To teach the material selection process To explore material possibilities
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; will be able to explain various ways to choose a material for a new product. will be able to determine which of the different material alternatives are suitable for a given product will be able to identify which material property has priority over others for different components and products will be able to explain some of the functional and expressive qualities of materials for design will be able to use the optimal material solution in design projects
Course Description	This course will use a project-based approach to foster materials knowledge for industrial design. Functional and expressive properties of materials such as metals, polymers, ceramics, glasses, wood, and composites will be discussed. Material selection methods will be explained. Several short projects will be given to students concentrating on the material aspects of given products and new possibilities with alternative materials.
