Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 10th Edition
By William D. Callister, Jr., and David G. Rethwisch
Materials Science and Engineering promotes student understanding of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites, as well as the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties.
The next generation of WileyPLUS for Materials Science and Engineering gives instructors the freedom and flexibility to tailor content and easily manage their course to keep students engaged and on track.

Virtual Materials Science and Engineering (VMSE) offers powerful capabilities for molecule visualization.
VMSE is a unique tool for visualizing molecules and manipulating them in 3-D. Interactive simulations and animations enhance the learning of key concepts in materials science and engineering (e.g., crystal structures, crystallographic planes/directions, and dislocations). It also includes a comprehensive materials property database.
Animated Figures give students extra resources.
Approximately 30 animated figures reinforce conceptual understanding and problem solving.
Tutorial videos improve studying and retention.
These videos provide real-time explanations of some of the toughest concepts in this course.
What’s New
- ORION Foundations module that provides just-in-time support on selected pre-requisite topics
- Approximately 25 new video solutions
- QuickStart Assignments for each chapter that make course set-up a snap
- Approximately 150-200 new algorithmic automatically-graded problems
- Tighter tolerances on problems that require reading values from a graph to reduce student confusion about “correct” answers being marked wrong
- Student practice modules include:
- Approximately 100 Check Your Understanding questions
- Approximately 100 automatically-graded problems and the ability to check their work with official step-by-step solutions (text or video format)
William D. Callister, Jr. is an adjunct professor in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Utah. His teaching interests include writing and revising introductory materials science and engineering textbooks in both print and electronic formats. He also enjoys developing ancillary resources, including instructional software and online testing/evaluation tools.
