Metals & Ceramics: Crash Course Engineering #19

Today we’ll explore more about two of the three main types of materials that we use as engineers: metals and ceramics. We’ll discuss the properties of metals, alloys, ceramics, clay, cement, and glass-ceramic materials. We’ll also look at the applications of our materials with microelectromechanical systems and accelerometers.

Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios.
