L.EGR 336 - Materials Science

Credits: 3

This is an introductory course in materials science and solid-state chemistry. Students will learn how basic chemical behavior, including crystallinity, bond type, and phase, affect macro-scale behavior such as strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. This information is used to guide material selection and processing decisions in practical applications. This course provides an introduction to the principles of material science with emphasis on the relationship between structure and properties, and their control. Topics include material classification, microstructure, phase behavior, and material processing.
