Materials Engineering Laboratory II. 3 credits, 6 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: MTEN 395 . This course offers students hands on experience to synthesize and characterize a diverse set of material samples. Students will be establishing synthesis/structure/properties relationships for metal alloys with emphasis on shape memory alloys, composite materials with emphasis on filled silicones, and porous materials with focus on zeolites. Students will learn how the synthesis and processing affect the material crystallinity and properties; they will measure the processing characteristics of powders, and prepare and characterize gels.
