As an undergrad in engineering school, I was required to take an introduction to material science course. The textbook we used covered a wide range of material science topics. It described and named various material properties and phenomena. But there was only a superficial treatment of the underlying physics or chemistry. Our professor, no doubt a distinguished material science researcher, was particularly focused on making sure we knew material phenomena and what they were named. Our exams consisted of questions in the form of “What is the name of a certain material property?” or “Describe the phenomenon known by this name.”

作为工程学院的本科生，我被要求选修材料科学导论课程。我们使用的教科书涵盖了广泛的材料科学主题。它描述并命名了各种材料特性和现象。但仅对基础物理或化学进行了表面处理。我们的教授无疑是一位杰出的材料科学研究人员，他特别注重确保我们了解材料现象及其名称。我们的考试包括以下形式的问题：“某种物质属性的名称是什么？”或“描述这个名字的现象。”
