Welcome - Practices and Mechanics of Materials APSC 1003   Practices and Mechanics of Materials
CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course deals with the practices of selecting and working with materials, including considerations for green practices. Selection of materials is based on many properties depending on the application; usually strength, workability, durability, and costs are key concerns. Green practices during the construction of machines, structures and buildings will include traditional properties and their environmental and resource efficiency including their deconstruction. Using green materials and products promotes conservation of dwindling non renewable resources and helps to reduce the environmental impacts associated with the extraction, transport, processing, fabrication, installation, reuse, recycling, and disposal of these source materials.
