                                  • Student Lecture PowerPoint  Slides. These slides (in both Adobe Acrobat  PDF
                                                                                                 ®

                                    an instructor for use in the classroom. The student set has been designed to allow
                                    for note taking on printouts.
                                  • Index of Learning Styles. Upon answering a 44-item questionnaire, a user’s
                                    learning-style preference (i.e., the manner in which information is assimilated and
                                    processed) is assessed.

                                  • Homework Problem Correlation Guide—8th edition to 9th edition. This guide
                                    notes, for each homework problem or question (by number), whether it appeared
                                    in the eighth edition and, if so, its number in this previous edition.
                                  • Virtual Materials Science and Engineering (VMSE). This web-based software
                                    package consists of interactive simulations and animations that enhance the
                                    learning of key concepts in materials science and engineering. Included in VMSE
                                    are eight modules and a materials properties/cost database. Titles of these modules
                                    are as follows: (1) Metallic Crystal Structures and Crystallography; (2) Ceramic
                                    Crystal Structures; (3) Repeat Unit and Polymer Structures; (4) Dislocations; (5)
                                    Phase Diagrams; (6) Diffusion; (7) Tensile Tests; and (8) Solid-Solution
                                    Strengthening.
                                  • Image Gallery. Illustrations from the book. Instructors can use them in

                                  • Art PowerPoint Slides. Book art loaded into PowerPoints, so instructors can more
                                    easily use them to create their own PowerPoint Slides.
                                  • Lecture Note PowerPoints. These slides, developed by the authors and Peter M.
                                    Anderson (The Ohio State University), follow the flow of topics in the text, and
                                    include materials taken from the text as well as other sources. Slides are available
                                                                            ®

                                    doesn’t have available all fonts used by the developer, special characters may not
                                    be displayed correctly in the PowerPoint version (i.e., it is not possible to embed
                                    fonts in PowerPoints); however, in the PDF version, these characters will appear
                                    correctly.]

                                    experiments and classroom demonstrations that portray phenomena and/or
                                    illustrate principles that are discussed in the book; references are also provided
                                    that give more detailed accounts of these demonstrations.
