The document highlights the importance of the periodic table in materials engineering, categorizing elements into groups and periods. Engineers must understand element interactions to design better materials for various applications, from bridges to medical devices. Knowledge of element properties is crucial for innovation and improvement in engineering designs.

2. PERIODIC TABLE

3. The periodic table tells us a lot of
information about the elements, it has
several categories, such as: non-metals,
halogens, noble gases, metalloids, alkali
metals, alkaline earth metals and poor
metals. The elements are arranged vertically
into groups and horizontally into periods.

5. Why do you think engineers must
understand the periodic table?
Understanding the elements of the
periodic table and how they interact
with each other is important for
engineers because they use
elements in all aspects of materials
design.

6. Knowledge of the characteristics
of the various elements helps
engineers design stronger bridges,
lighter airplanes, non-corrosive
buildings, the buttons on your toys
and games, as well as food and
medical applications.

7. It is essential for engineers to
understand the properties of the
different elements so that they
know what to expect or look for
when designing something new.
Engineers are always trying to
improve things — like airplanes, air
conditioning systems, computers or
cell phones.

8. Better designs often include an
improvement in the materials used,
and materials are made of elements,
or compounds of one or more
elements. An engineer keeps the
different element properties in mind
when designing.
