-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Undergraduate laboratory research in materials science and engineering. Students will undertake an independent research project along side graduate student(s) and/or postdoctoral fellow(s), and will be supervised by an EMSE faculty member. Written and oral reports will be given on a regular basis, and an end of semester report is required. The course can be repeated up to four (4) times for a total of six (6) credit hours. Prereq: Sophomore or Junior standing and consent of instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course seeks to create an understanding of the role of mineral-based materials in the modern economy focusing on how such knowledge can and should be used in making strategic choices in an engineering context. The history of the role of materials in emerging technologies from a historical perspective will be briefly explored. The current literature will be used to demonstrate the connectedness of materials availability and the development and sustainability of engineering advances with examples of applications exploiting structural, electronic, optical, magnetic, and energy conversion properties. Processing will be comprehensively reviewed from source through refinement through processing including property development through application of: titanium, beryllium, molybdenum, cobalt, vanadium, manganese, tantalum, rhenium, and rare earth group metals. The concept of strategic recycling, including design for recycling and waste stream management will be considered. Offered as EMSE 335 and EMSE 435. Prereq: Senior standing or graduate student.
-
3.00 Credits
Review of momentum, mass, and heat transport from a unified point of view. Application of these principles to various phenomena in materials science and engineering with an emphasis on materials processing. Both analytical and numerical methodologies applied in the solution of problems. Recommended preparation: ENGR 225 and MATH 224 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
The design of mechanical and structural elements considering static failure, elastic stability, residual stresses, stress concentration, impact, fatigue, creep and environmental conditions on the mechanical behavior of engineering materials. Rational approaches to materials selection for new and existing designs of structures. Laboratory experiments coordinated with the classroom lectures. Offered as EMAE 372 and EMSE 372. Prereq: ECIV 310.
-
1.00 - 18.00 Credits
Special research projects or undergraduate thesis in selected material areas.
-
1.00 Credits
Independent Research project. Projects selected from those suggested by faculty; usually entail original research. The EMSE 398 and 399 sequence form an approved SAGES capstone.
