CHEMICAL ENGINEERING MATERIALS

MS&E 350

The basic structures and resulting properties of solid materials, including phase equilibria, meta-stability, mechanical properties, failure, corrosion, and materials selection.

MS&E 550

Accelerated introduction to foundational materials concepts and the materials paradigm approach to problem solving and research. Atomic scale structure of materials; defects in crystalline materials; alloy phase diagrams, solid-state diffusion, phase transformations, microstructure development, micro/nano/atomic-scale structure-property relationships.

MS&E 456

Quantitative description of electronic, optical, and magnetic structure-property relationships of materials. Strategies for the development of new materials and introduction to applications of these materials.

MS&E 151

The properties and structure of everyday materials. A non-mathematical exploration of the relation between structure and resulting properties of metals, plastics, ceramics, glasses, and composite materials. Case studies of important materials in the modern and historical context.

MS&E 351

Introduction to: atomic, electronic, and defect structures in materials; diffusional, mechanical and electrical properties of materials; and the role of structure and defects in diffusional, mechanical, and electrical properties.
