    3 hours. The course starts with a basic discussion of polarization in a dielectric, reviews electrostatic boundary conditions and then develops the concept of domains with the occurrence of spontaneous polarization. Domain reorientation is shown to develop anisotropic properties and frequency effects in the dielectric constant. The structural transitions are modeled with thermodynamic theory and soft mode concepts. The second part of the course is concerned with the effect of the symmetry of spontaneous polarization on the structure and properties. The properties are expanded into devices and the use of ferroelectric material as piezoelectrics, pyroelectrics, electrooptics, and dielectrics. CE

    3 hours. Electronic package systems for information processing include the function of electrical interconnection, cooling and physical support for the sets of semiconductor I.C. chips plus other components in electronic systems. Semiconductors, ceramics, polymers and metals are generally used in combinations in all packages; and, hence, it is necessary to understand their bulk properties as well as their interface structures and characteristics. This course focuses on the design of materials and processing needs for packaging technology from chip to board using principles involved in key areas of materials science and engineering disciplines. Basic properties and processing methods used in the design and fabrication of semiconductor IC's, ceramic substrates, metal interconnections, and polymers are discussed. Prerequisites: CEMS 314, 344. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. Following a review and extension of ANOVA and regression, experimental design is introduced as an extension of statistical methods. Various standard designs and their analysis are introduced and applied to research and quality control situations. Factorials, fractional factorials, response surface designs, and mixture designs are covered. Statistical process control, control charts, and optimization are introduced. Computer methods will involve some standard packages such as SPSS, Mini Tab, or IMSL on the mainframe, or software packages on computers in the College micro-computer labs. Prerequisites: ENGR 305 or MATH 241. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. A survey of ceramic, metal and polymer materials and devices for repair and replacement parts in the human body. Emphasis is on the nature of the materials, the design and fabrication of devices, properties, applications and the problems of introducing foreign materials into the biosystem. Prerequisites: CEMS 214 and 251. CE
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 hours. In this course students will design and fabricate a material for a bioengineering application. Significant emphasis will be placed on use of the principles taught in CEMS 468. Students will work in teams using an inquiry-based format. Significant emphasis is placed on a term report that includes the research plan (developed earlier in the semester). In addition, the term report will demonstrate an understanding of the testing, requirements and issues related to medical devices, a brief review of current and historic materials used for this bioengineering application (unless the application is novel), and a general understanding of current FDA guidelines for medical devices. Prerequisite CEMS 468. (Spring) CE
  • 2.00 Credits

    2 hours. An independent research project carried out under the supervision of a faculty member. Senior standing required. CE

    2 hours. An independent research project carried out under the supervision of a faculty member. Senior Standing required. CE
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 hours. This course helps students understand the engineering and business aspects of a glass and ceramic manufacturing facility with an overview of large scale manufacturing processes of glass/ceramic products. Major topics covered are: quality control, plant layouts and the use of charts, the economics of manufacturing including cost estimation, cost accounting, depreciation, cash flow, tax consequences and rate of returnanalysis. Significant emphasis is placed on a term report covering set-up of business plans for a hypothetical glass or ceramic product. A visit to at least one glass or ceramic manufacturing plant is required. Senior standing required.
  • 1.00 Credits

    1 hour. Open to all students. One half-hour private lesson per week. Private lesson fee includes the use of practice rooms.
  • 2.00 Credits

    2 hours. Class lessons in piano technique for the beginner. Covers basics of tone conception, rhythm, articulation, and fingering, five-finger patterns and tonic chords in major keys. Simple composition projects are a requirement of the course. No previous musical training required. (C)
