INTRODUCTION TO CERAMIC 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.

CHEM 652

Materials chemistry of inorganic solids. Focuses on the application of chemical concepts to an understanding of properties of solids and how these properties are manifested in practical applications.

MS&E 530

Thermodynamics of condensed matters as applied to materials science and engineering.

MS&E 460

An introduction to the theoretical and computational tools for computational materials, with hands on homework and laboratories. Topics may include atomistic simulation (e.g., molecular dynamics), mesoscale simulation (e.g,. Phase field method), macroscale simulation (e.g., finite element method), thermodynamic and kinetic modeling (CALPHAD method), informatics (e.g., machine learning), and special topics (e.g., solar cell design, electronic device simulation, etc.)
