-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the structure of engineering materials and its relationship with their mechanical properties. Structure of solids and defects. Concepts of microstructure and origins. Elastic, plastic flow and fracture properties. Mechanisms of deformation and failure. Stiffening, strengthening, and toughening mechanisms.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure and function of cellular molecules (lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates). Genetic engineering techniques of molecular biology. Biomolecular materials and biomedical applications (e.g., bio-sensors, drug delivery systems, gene carrier systems).
-
3.00 Credits
Introductory course covering synthesis, characterization, structure, and mechanical properties of polymers. The course is taught from a materials perspective and includes polymer thermodynamics, chain architecture, measurement and control of molecular weight as well as crystallization and glass transitions.
-
4.00 Credits
Electrons as particles and waves, Schrodinger's equation and illustrative solutions. Tunneling. Atomic structures, the exclusion principle and the periodic table. Bonds. Free electrons in metals, periodic potentials and energy bands.
-
4.00 Credits
Crystal lattices and the structure of solids, with emphasis on seminconductors. Lattice vibartations. Electronic states and energy bands. Electrical and thermal conduction. Dielectic and optical properties. Semiconductor devices: diffusion, P-N junctions and diode behavior.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the main families of materials and the principlesbehind their development, selection, and behavior. Discusses the generic properties of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites more relevant to structural applications. The relationship of properties to structure and processing is emphasized in every case.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to the fundamentals of common manufacturing processes and their interplay with the structure and properties of materials as they are transformed into products. Emphasis on process understanding and the key physical concepts and basic mathematical relationships involved in each of the processes discussed.
-
4.00 Credits
From the double helix and genetic code to the latest breakthroughs. Structure, function, evolution and manipulation of DNA, RNA. Replication, expression, recombination, complementation, and their regulation in prakaryotes (bacteria, plasmids, viruses). Recombinant DNA technology in medicine, research, agriculture and industry.
-
4.00 Credits
Mendelian and molecular genetics. Replication, recombination, transmission and expression of dna in eukaryotic organisms from yeast to man. Uses of traditional genetics and modern molecular techniques, including molecular genetic approaches to the study of human disease.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the structure and function of cell organelles; membranes, nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, lysosomes, microbodies, microtubules, cilia, centrioles, and microfilaments.
