The primary objective of this course is to teach the fundamental relationships between the internal structures (atomic arrangements and bonds) and the macro-level physical and mechanical properties of materials used in technical applications. By providing an understanding of material behavior under load, durability against environmental factors, and insulation principles, the course aims to equip students with the necessary technical background for proper material selection, application, and protection in techical projects.

The General Materials Science course is a fundamental course that examines the relationship between the atomic structure of materials and their macro-level physical and mechanical properties. Within the scope of the course, while the effects of atomic bonds and internal structure on deformation behaviors are analyzed, industrial materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, as well as construction materials like concrete and timber, are classified and detailed. Furthermore, the principles of thermal, water, acoustic, and fire insulation, which are critical for the durability and comfort of structures, along with protection methods against environmental effects like corrosion, are taught through a holistic approach.
