Widely adopted around the world, this is a core materials science and mechanical engineering text. Engineering Materials 1 gives a broad introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering applications. With each chapter corresponding to one lecture, it provides a complete introductory course in engineering materials for students with no previous background in the subject. Ashby & Jones have an established, successful track record in developing understanding of the properties of materials and how they perform in reality.
I don't know why but this book really enabled my transition into an appreciation for 'engineering science' and then gave way to graduate study. Realizing that there is a certain logical behavior to materials behavior, which may be understood on very intuitive physical terms. So for that reason I recommend this to other students. I may be biased because things started to make sense to me after this book, and I don't know how much of that to attribute to the books writing, but I attribute a lot.
