-
4.00 Credits
(3-1) 4 credits. Prerequisites: Admission to M.S./MES or Ph.D./MES program or permission of instructor. The objective of this course is to provide the students a working knowledge of the principles of modern analytical instrumentation. Specific topics of the course include how electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter, atomic and molecular spectroscopy and chromatography. The laboratory portion of this course will include experiments in atomic and molecular spectroscopy. In addition, chromatographic experiments are also covered.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. A course in the surface properties of solids and liquids. Areas covered include the thermodynamics of surfaces, material transfer across interfaces, nucleation, surface energies of solids, three-phase contact, wetting phenomena, and adsorption.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Presented and discussed. Emphasis is placed on the mathematical description of phenomenological behavior, deformation and flow. Practical solutions from the classical theories of solid mechanics are discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. An advanced course covering the properties of crystalline, amorphous, and multiphase solids. Study of the mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, magnetic, and optical behavior of metals, semiconductors, ceramics, polymers, concretes, and composites, including time-dependent and environmental effects.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Principles of Absolute Rate Theory are combined with thermodynamics to study the mechanisms of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions in metallurgical systems. This course is cross-listed with CBE 728.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: PHYS 431 or equivalent. The structure of solids, lattice vibrations, free electron and energy band theory. Applications to the thermal, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of solids.
-
3.00 Credits
(3-0) 3 credits. Prerequisite: Permission of instructor. Introduction to tensor algebra and calculus. Derivation of kinematic, stress, strain, and thermodynamic field equations governing continuous media. Development of constitutive relations for real materials. Applications to problems in fluid and solid mechanics.
-
5.00 Credits
Credit to be arranged; not to exceed 5 credit hours toward fulfillment of the master of science in materials engineering and science (M.S./MES). Prerequisite: approval of advisor. Directed research investigation of a selected problem culminating in an acceptable written report. Oral defense of the report and research findings are required.
-
1.00 Credits
