3.00 Credits
Individual joining processes including mechanical fastening, adhesive bonding, welding, brazing, soldering, thermal spraying, and variants or hybrids of these. Advantages and disadvantages, mechanisms for attaining joint strength, various specific methods and procedures, joint design and analysis, expected properties, practical issues in production, safety, and economics, and special problems with each process. Joining of similar and dissimilar combinations of metals and alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, glasses, polymers, and composites, with special attention to attaining optimum properties. Team term project. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: ENGR 1600 and ENGR 2010. When Offered: Fall term. Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
Emphasis is on materials processing, with four instruction modules drawn from aspects of casting and molding, deformation processing, powder processing, joining and additive processes, cutting and removal processes, and annealing/heat treatment processes. Includes laboratory component. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MTLE 4400. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Basic design concepts and the underlying structureproperty-process-performance interaction. Engineering materials, structures and properties, principles and process of materials selection, generation of materials performances indices, assessment and optimization of performance, processing routes and manufacturing issues, role of reverse engineering and failure analysis in design are covered. Generic design against yielding, fracture, flexure, buckling, fatigue, creep, corrosion, and wear are addressed, as opposed to design of specific products or in specific areas. A semester-long team design project is a principal focus. Team-building and leadership skills are developed. Non-technical issues of environmental impact, cultural and societal impact, safety and health, ethics, and cost are discussed. Writing assignments and oral reports develop communication skills. Enrollment for MS&E majors is restricted to seniors or graduates. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisites: CHEM 1100 and ENGR 1600 or ENGR 2010. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
-
2.00 Credits
A capstone experience to afford seniors in MS&E the unique and invaluable opportunity to participate as a vital member of a truly multidisciplinary design team (comprised of engineering students from other disciplines, as well as MBAs) and function just as they will as professionals in practice, in preparation for practice. The course revolves totally around a design project, focusing on the structure-property-process-performance interaction underlying all design, with no homework or exams; just memos on progress, individual and group meetings with the instructor, conceptual design report, project notebook or journal, and final report. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: satisfactory completion of MTLE 4910. When Offered: Spring term annually. Credit Hours: 2
-

Point defects, nonstoichiometry, diffusion and defects, electronic defects, elastic properties of dislocations, dislocation-point defect interactions, dislocation arrays, grain boundaries, stacking faults, phase stability, twin boundaries, epitaxial interfaces. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MTLE 2100 or equivalent. Fall term. Credit Hours: 3
-
4.00 Credits
Review of classical thermodynamics. Development of basic concepts of statistical thermodynamics. Application of both classical and statistical techniques to the determination of phase and chemical equilibrium in real systems. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MTLE 4100 or equivalent. When Offered: Fall term. Credit Hours: 4
-
3.00 Credits
Symmetry operations, point groups and space groups, X-ray and electron diffraction techniques, reciprocal lattice, Ewald sphere, mathematics of diffraction, crystal chemistry, crystal structure-property relationships. When Offered: Spring term. Credit Hours: 3

Precipitation: general, cellular, and G-P zones. Allotropic and martensitic transformations. Grain growth. Sintering. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MTLE 4100 or MTLE 6030 or equivalent. When Offered: Spring term. Credit Hours: 3
-
3.00 Credits
Introduction to electron optics, electron diffraction contrast mechanisms, specimen preparation, and microanalysis. Theory and operating fundamentals of the SEM, TEM, STEM, and the electron microprobe. Analysis of images from crystalline materials using kinematical and dynamical theories of electron diffraction. Prerequisites/Corequisites: Prerequisite: MTLE 2100 or MTLE 6040. When Offered: Fall term. Credit Hours: 3
