Kohne Loyola College, Baltimore, MDIntroductionLoyola College in Maryland is a small liberal arts college. In 1977, Loyola, then predominantlyan undergraduate college, started a graduate program in Engineering. There existed at that timean undergraduate department in Engineering Science, Computer Science and Physics(ENSCAP). The goal of the undergraduate department was to provide a rigorous engineeringprogram for students who also wanted to

For a given material, the set of properties desired during processing may be quitedifferent from that needed in service. Thus, a mechanical engineer needs to know about theproperties, performance and processing of a wide range of materials, and be able to use thisknowledge in designing a product.
