This package includes a physical copy of Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering, first edition by Elliot P. Douglas as well as access to the eText and MasteringEngineering.

For students taking the Materials Science course in the Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering department. This book is also suitable for professionals seeking a guided inquiry approach to materials science.

This unique book is designed to serve as an active learning tool that uses carefully selected information and guided inquiryquestions. Guided inquiry helps readers reach true understanding of concepts as they develop greater ownership over the material presented. First, background information or data is presented. Then, concept invention questions lead the students to construct their own understanding of the fundamental concepts represented. Finally, application questions provide the reader with practice in solving problems using the concepts that they have derived from their own valid conclusions. 

MyLab and Mastering from Pearson improve results for students and educators. Used by over ten million students, they effectively engage learners at every stage.

With proven success, Mastering has helped students make strides in learning for over 10 years. MasteringEngineering has immersive content and tools that are so engaging that one educator said, “Using MasteringEngineering has substantially changed student engagement in the homework process. Rather than some copying directly from a solutions manual, students now have to work through the problems. The tutorials in MasteringEngineering do an excellent job of reinforcing classroom learning.”

With MasteringEngineering, students gain knowledge that they will use throughout their lives, and universities gain a partner deeply committed to helping students and educators achieve their goals.
