在实验教学中设计大量的综合性实验对培养学生综合运用所学知识解决科研和工程实际问题的能力至关重要。
本实验教材以材料专业常规实验为基础，以综合性实验为主体，强调材料专业相关理论知识和实践技能的综合运用，并且与科研和产业前沿紧密结合。本书涵盖材料专业的主要实验课程，并打破了课程之间的界线，全书分为五个部分：第一部分是材料科学与工程初探，包括材料金相分析基础，以及材料加工、电子材料、能源材料和生物材料等导论性实验；第二部分是化学和晶体学基础，包括物理化学、有机化学和晶体学基础实验；第三部分是材料性质，包括材料力学和物理性质实验；第四部分是材料制备和处理，包括金属材料成形及热处理、有机和高分子材料以及纳米材料的制备和表征实验；第五部分是材料应用，包括能源材料、电子材料与器件、生物材料以及材料与环境相关的实验。
本书可作为材料类专业，如材料科学与工程、材料成形及控制工程、材料物理、材料化学，以及其他相关专业本科生实验教学的教材或参考书。书中各章实验项目按照由浅入深、从易到难的顺序编排，并将耗时长、内容多的大型综合性实验拆分成小实验，教师可以灵活选用，并根据实验条件和学时有选择地完成实验内容。
