an ability to articulate differences between different types of materials.
an ability to predict how the atomistic structure of a material relates to its structural and functional properties.
an ability to understand the capabilities and interpret the results of common materials analysis tools.
an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed in the field of materials, using appropriate learning strategies.
