A very useful and informative starting course for practicing engineer like myself. I would really like to thank Dr. James Shackelford and UC Davis course team.

Deep explanation of concepts and very easy to understand the fundamentals and concepts of 10 things that every engineer should know about the material science.

Clear study Stress- strain curve, Arrhenius law, Defects, fatigues, Dislocations, phase diagrams, Semiconductors are clearly & graphically explained. Thank you

A very concise course covering the essential concepts of materials science beautifully explained. I like the way Professor James negotiates through the topics.

I loved this course, it was light and educational. The instructor makes complex ideas simple, interesting, and relevant. I highly recommend this to engineers

great course!!! the professor is very good explaining concepts and extrapolating this information into practical applications in the laboratory experiments

Exceptionally beneficial to the fundamental principles of engineering. I highly recommend taking this course as it is informative and simple to understand.

Thank you for giving me excellent information on material science.It is very helpful course for me. Thank you University of California,Davis and coursera.

The short lectures are very crisp yet give the complete picture of the concepts. This course stands as a "must take refresher" for Material Science area.

It was best to learn from other professors and their teaching techniques are also best. Like to learn more. This was my first online course. Keep it up.

A good introduction into the field of Material Science. I would like to thank Dr James Shackelford for being very articulate and making things simple.

The course was really good. Instructor James Shackelford ellaborated the course content really well. The videos were short, self-explanatory and nice.

This is one of the best course I have taken on Material Science! Down to earth explanatory, indeed every Engineer should know these basics. Thank you.

Course is very good & very helpful and informative . Professor is very experimental explanation added plus to get attention of listening & thinking.

Me pareció un curso muy chévere ya que nos exige mucho en el área de la segunda lengua y sobre todo lo bien explicado que dan cada una de las pautas

Excellent introductory course! Full of interesting topics that would lead you to investigate further into this topic. Thanks Professor Shackelford!

A very good course to take up there are many things to learn.

Most importantly remember:

"Structure leads to properties"

by our Great Professor James

Es un gran curso, con saberes teóricos prácticos, de gran contenido y fácil apreciación para las aspiraciones de un futuro ingeniero enhorabuena!

Excellent course to remember the basic things that a engineer should remember especially mechanical engineers. Thank you for making this course.

I​t was fantastic to get enrolled in such a beautiful course. The lab view and discussed experimental techniques and related plots were superb.

This course presented the most intuitive explanation of material properties that I have come across in fourteen years as a practicing engineer.

It was wonderful and very well explained about each and every crux of material science. and got practical understanding of material engineering

Very good course and personally I am looking forward for more deeper metallurgy courses from same speaker..He is too good..Thank you Coursera.

This gives all the information required for understanding material science course for mechanical engineers. Thank you for offering the course.

Professor Shackelford has good and clear explanation about this course. Outstanding in presentation delivery. Please keep posting new course.
