Opportunity Description
The Structural Materials, Selection, and Economics Free Online Course designed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for engineering students to learn about the critical principle of structural materials selections based on practical curriculum rooted in the real world. Moreover, the principles taught are general enough to be applied across many domains. Furthermore, the course will aspire to engineers and students without related experience and professional skills or background. Interested people can apply online.

Who are the instructors:
- Thomas Eagar, Materials Engineering and Engineering System professor.
- Jessica Sandland: lecturer and scientist
Requirements: high school degree with basic knowledge of mathematics
What participants will learn:
- Materials selection externalities
- Cost, abundance and material price
- Structural materials limitation, properties, and ratio.
- Will learn about how structured materials are manufactured and processed.
Course syllabus:
- First lecture: the first lecture focus is on the materials selection introduction to externalities, social comprise, political, economic, military, cultural, environmental, and other effects.
- Second lecture: the second lecture will cover the connection between materials cost, abundance, and usage—availability influence of factors, including energy density and recyclability.
- Third lecture: In the third lecture, the lessons will be about properties of materials that impact us in structural applications, ratio analysis using between other examples steel, aluminum, and titanium.
- Last lecture: In the previous lecture, the lessons will focus on manufacturing and processing factors that affect materials, choices in different applications.
