Overview

Award winning software for teachers and students of materials science, engineering and related subjects. 

The challenging concepts of this subject area, which can be difficult to grasp, are made easier to understand with this collection of completely interactive learning modules, which have been designed to make use of those functions best performed by computer.

Designed to complement traditional teaching and learning methods, it also serves as a stimulating resource for teachers explaining new concepts. Students learn new aspects of materials science whilst testing their knowledge by answering the questions which appear within each module on the CD-ROM.

Key benefits for the user:

• fully interactive - the first CD-ROM of its kind for materials science
• versatile format - Windows™ and Macintosh™ versions on the same CD-ROM
• comprehensive solutions manual also available on request to bona fide teaching staff
• can be used as a supplement to any materials science textbook
• superb study aid - the CD-ROM provides many opportunities for self-assessment
