MST 2016

This document contains instructions for an engineering materials exam, including multiple choice and free response questions. The questions cover topics like: 1) Distinguishing between substructure and microstructure, alloys and composites, and discussing how structure relates to material properties. 2) Drawing atomic configurations and calculating densities for crystal structures. 3) Drawing planes and directions in a hexagonal unit cell and deriving Bragg's law for X-ray diffraction. 4) Explaining concepts like why water can be liquid at room temperature despite covalent bonds, or why certain reflections or structures do or do not exist.
