Hi,
I am interested about learning and doing research about Material Science n Engineering. Since I am graduated from IT background, I want to do research about simulation. However I do not know how to start, and what is the important terms and concepts I need to know about that. Right now I am trying to learn from MIT OCW (Material Engineering Course).
Maybe you can share some advice about the main idea of Material Engineering/Science?
Thanks in advance

. I also just graduated, I am working but I do research to prepare my further studies.
