Below are resources (books, YouTube channels, software, etc) that I have appreciated as a materials engineer. This list contains items that have helped me gain a better understanding our field, develop as an engineer or were suggested by students in my research group. I also run a blog for undergraduates interested in pursuing a STEM graduate degree.
