TL;DR: In this article, a new system of teaching and learning science, with examples drawn from basic principles of materials behaviour, is shown to be commensurate with the requirements of engineering students.
Abstract: SUMMARY The development of manufactured goods is highly dependent on their basic materials properties. In all aspects of the sciences, materials science and engineering have both a direct and indirect influence on the final properties and performance of manufactured products. It is only during the later years of high school study that aspects of science describing materials behaviour become relevant to later studies in engineering. Students must attain a basic understanding of scientific principles to be able to master the rigours of tertiary engineering studies. A new system of teaching and learning science, with examples drawn from basic principles of materials behaviour, is shown to be commensurate with these requirements. It is our responsibility as educators to develop graduates who are effective in the workplace and understand the relevance of materials to engineering.
