GEH1057 Materials: The Enabling Substance of Civilization [4MC]Taken in AY18/19 Sem 2
Lecturer: Prof Chiu Cheng Hsin, Prof Daniel John Blackwood, Prof Benjamin Tee Lecturer clarity: Somewhat clear, with some words hard to decipher Class size: 73 Timeload: 2x 2hr tut weekly Webcast: Tutorials - No NUSMODS What's this? An MSE undergrad taking a MSE GEM open to all faculties? lol yes it's time to smurf yet again! While there is quite a bit of history (from paleolithic to modern age), there is also quite a bit of technical MSE content which gives us MSE kids an advantage already. In addition, some of the things being taught in this GEH1057 like grain size, dislocation and slipping is concurrently being covered in MLE1002 in the exact same week, going hand in hand. Kill 2 birds with 1 paleolithic stone! It's open-book too (ie bring in your own notes, but as usual no copyrighted materials like textbook photocopies), so as long as your notes are good enough to jog your memory on what was taught in the lectures, you should be good :) We have to give a group presentation about anything material related. The topic I suggested to my group is SpaceX's use of stainless steel 301 in their upcoming BFR. Assessment:

People from the future please report back here did it go through. Assessment:
