Same Text, More Action
Based on the 10th edition of Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, this zyVersion contains the complete text of the original book plus new interactive animations, learning questions, and challenge activities to engage the student.
- 270 dynamic animations provide insight into numerous topics
- More than 900 individual questions make up learning question sets that will help students understand topics through incremental steps keeping students engaged and providing thorough explanations of both right and wrong answers
- Approximately 200 Challenge Activities (“homework problems”) provide algorithmic, auto-graded versions of the end of chapter problems in the original text
- Fully integrated VMSE (Virtual Materials Science and Engineering) simulations encourage students to explore the key concepts of materials science and engineering
- Adopters have access to a test bank with questions for every chapter
If you prefer organization by property, with details for the various material types in the same chapter, then check out Callister’s Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering: An Integrated Approach (6e).
New! Optional Challenge Activities
As an instructor, you now have the ability to mark Challenge Activities as optional, which means you can indicate which Challenge Activities your students need to complete in order to meet your course requirements. Those marked as optional won’t contribute to point totals in reports or assignments.
