Description:

Fall Semester This course investigates the relationships that exist between the microstructure (atomic arrangements, crystal structure, defect distribution, phase composition) of engineering materials and their physical (mechanical, electrical, optical) properties. Each class of materials-metals, ceramics, semiconductors, polymers-is discussed in this context. Topics include atomic structure and packing, crystallography, defects and dislocations, phase equilibria and the kinetics of solid-state reactions, alloys, ceramics and glasses, polymers, composites, corrosion, and the selection of engineering materials for specific applications. Prerequisites: CHM134. Corequisite: ME261. 3 credit hours.
