Engaging students and showing them the value of learning about materials through products. This database aims to engage students of both Engineering and Design in learning about materials, through a product-centered, visually inspiring, interactive database that provides information on how and from what products are made.
Knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes are essential for any designer; whether they are designing the must-have consumer product or the latest high-tech component. Well-designed products provide both function and satisfaction. Designers and Engineers need to appreciate each other’s work, and be able to communicate, in order to work well together.
