Materials Engineering

Materials engineers play an important part in many fields of engineering. Many of the technologies that engineers develop must rely on materials that are specifically designed for a purpose. With that, some of the materials they focus on are natural and others are man-made. That means materials engineers are experts on materials, properties, mixtures, and fair tests! They design new materials to reach specific goals. Our focus in this unit will be on earth materials.

First graders spent time today completing the three tests they designed for each of the three mortars--sand, soil, and clay. Testing materials is an important part of an engineer's work, and today, the results of our tests surprised us. Not one mortar passed all three tests. This means none of them will be a strong and sticky enough mortar for our walls. What should we do now materials engineers?
