#	Content
1	Unit 1: The Selection Framework (Ashby’s Methodology)
2	Unit 2: Material Classes and Mechanical Fundamentals
3	Unit 3: Environmental and Degradation Limits
4	Unit 4: Manufacturing Co-Selection (Process Capability)
5	Unit 5: Economics, Supply Chain, and Sustainability

#	Outcomes
	Translate Design Requirements: Convert functional performance criteria (such as load, stiffness, operating temperature, and corrosion resistance) into precise material property profiles and Material Indices.
	Apply Selection Methodologies: Utilize screening and ranking techniques, Ashby selection charts, and digital databases (such as Granta Selector) to methodically narrow down thousands of options to the best candidate.
	Evaluate Manufacturing Compatibility: Analyze the interactions between material properties and production/fabrication processes (machining, joining, shaping, and surface treatment) to ensure manufacturability.
	Assess Failure Mechanisms: Predict and prevent common industrial failure modes—including fatigue, creep, fracture, and wear—to extend the operational lifespan of a component.
	Incorporate Sustainability: Appraise lifecycle costs, energy consumption, recyclability, and environmental impact to make eco-conscious material substitutions.
