MSE109

MSE 109 introduces students to the central principles of materials science and materials chemistry. The course covers the foundations of solid state chemistry with a focus on engineering applications. The course will allow students to develop a deep understanding of materials properties based on fundamental principles of chemical bonding in a broad range of materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors and molecular solids. The course is designed to provide students with a direct connection to real life problematics in a wide range of engineering applications. The course will offer hands-on experiential learning through a weekly laboratory component built-in to reinforce lecture concepts through direct group activities involving modern engineering tools. The overarching goal of the course is to develop engineering lifelong learners with the ability to make sophisticated decision about selection of engineering materials.
