Talk:Strength of materials

Materials science differs from this in what way?
- (you can sign your dated name by adding four tildas. Oh, by the way, Hi Sparky)
- Materials science is far broader.
- Academically, they are taught as different subjects.
- In the real world, engineers use these disciplines separately; Materials science involves the development or choice of materials for engineering uses, and Strength of materials is applied to the design of mechanical elements. They are sometimes used in parallel and sometimes overlap. For example, a design engineer choosing a material for a specific application. But the are not the same subject. Professionally, material science is a different occupation than Design engineering or Analysis.
