Materials Laboratory II

Catalog description

Introduce the design of microstructural characterization approaches to elucidate the structure and/or microstructure. It will include demonstrations of appropriate techniques for different material classes. The characterization is the enabler of the materials science and engineering triad: processing-structure-properties-performance. Students will reflect on how professional standards, statistical analysis, and instrument limitations require that engineers and scientists conduct failure analysis and interpret conclusions. Recommended preparation: EMSE 276 . Recommended corequisite: EMSE 372 . This course satisfies the GER Disciplinary Communication requirement only in combination with EMSE 220 . Counts as a Disciplinary Communication course.
