Theresult of this interrelationship of materials structure, properties and processing is that thematerials professional must understand the intimate details of the material in order to designprocessing and manufacturing techniques that will result in a product with the desiredproperties.5 Variables in processing and manufacturing that must be understood and controlledinclude (but are not limited to) temperature, pressure, process speed and environmental factorssuch as atmosphere and vacuum.

As an introductory course,textbook materials are typically simplified so that underclassmen are able to solve problems.This can make it difficult for students to relate how all the concepts can have a unified effect ona real-world problem.
