CAPSTONE PROJECT I

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 471

Capstone experiences in materials design, selection and application for MSE students. Emphasis on creativity and application of fundamental principles in problem identification, experimental design, data acquisition and analysis, and presentation of results.

MS&E 401

Special topics of interest to students in materials science and engineering.

MS&E 551

Atomic, nanoscale and microscale structure of materials. Course is designed for first year graduate students with interests in materials research.

MS&E 260

Provides overview of the field of Materials Science and Engineering, with significant design and hands-on components. Highlights different types of materials, with a focus on describing the extensive impact that Materials Science and Engineering has had on society. Small teams provide hands-on experience in materials design, synthesis, and processing and the fabrication of materials with desired properties and function.
