Online Materials Science Resources

In summary, for quality materials science resources on the web, one could check out MIT's Open CourseWare in Materials Science and Engineering, as well as websites such as Key to Metals and various scientific and technical societies like TMS, ASM International, and SAE. These resources can supplement learning in an intro to materials science and engineering class.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some quality materials science resources on the web? I am currently in an intro to materials science and engineering class and have been fascinated by the subject this semester. I was just wondering if there are any "go to" resources on the internet to supplement what I'm learning?

Thank you!
