  • 27 301: Microstructure and Properties I

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    The objective of this courses and its companion 27-302 is to convey some of the essential concepts in materials science and engineering that relate material properties (strength, magnetism, thermal expansion) to microstructure (crystal structure, dislocations structure, grain structure, precipitate structure, composite structure) in single phase materials. The relationships will be illustrated with examples of both idealized and technological materials. The course will draw upon many aspects of materials science such as defects, phase transformations etc. The course includes both lectures and laboratory exercises.

  • 27 311: Polymeric Biomaterials

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course will provide students with an introduction to polymers used in medical applications. Following a brief discussion of the physical properties of polymers and tissues, we will survey important classes of polymeric biomaterials, discussing material preparation, processing, properties and applications. Topics will include silicone elastomers, degradable hydrogels, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, polyurethanes, polyesters, and biopolymers such as silks and collagen. In addition, students will participate in a semester-long entrepreneurship project where they propose a new medical technology based on polymeric biomaterials. This semester we will discuss this primarily in the context of materials for wound healing applications. Student teams will perform market research on wound healing products, propose a novel bioactive dressing for wound healing applications, and identify methods for the testing and production of their product.

  • 27 324: Introduction to Polymer Science and Engineering

    9.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course introduces the fundamental properties of polymer materials and the principles underlying the design as well as the engineering and manufacturing of polymer materials. The basic characteristics of macromolecules will be discussed followed by an introduction to relevant forming technologies and their significance to material performance. Technologically relevant engineering properties of polymer materials will be introduced with focus on mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. Selected case studies and design projects will introduce students to the various stages of technical product development, i.e. problem analysis, material selection and processing plan. (

  • 27 367: Selection and Performance of Materials

    6.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This course teaches the selection methodologies for materials and processes for satisfaction of a design goal. Topics such as performance under load, shape effects, material properties (intrinsic and as influenced by processing) are discussed and applied so as to determine the fitness of use of materials for applications. Expanded topics include economics, codes and standards, environmental and safety regulations, professional ethics and life cycle analysis where applicable. The course incorporates a project where virtual teams work to provide material selection for a specific application problem. Prerequisites: 27-100

  • 27 401: MSE Capstone Course I

    12.00 Credits
    Carnegie Mellon University

    This capstone course introduces the student to the methodology used for projects and team based research as practiced in the Materials Science and Engineering workplace. This is a project course that requires the knowledge relationship among processing, structure, and performance to address an important contemporary problem in materials science and engineering. Student taking this course will work in a team environment to complete a design project to resolve scientific and engineering issues relating to materials. Topics will be selected from a list or material problems or research concepts generated from industrial or academia. All research is expected to be original, and proper scientific ethics, and methodologies are enforced for the research and reports. Team participation and communication is an important issue and the presentation and reports must be technical and professional in structure. The course requires full project management and accounting for the research being conducted. On the topic selected, the work product is a report that provides clear definition of the problem being addressed, a methodology for the research, literature review, experimentation and reporting of findings, conclusions based on findings, and recommendations for future work.
