Communicating Topics in Materials Science

Catalog description

This course is designed to expand students' knowledge of materials science, engineering, and research. The course will cover the properties and applications of a broad range of materials based on each student's proposed research topic. Students will develop an understanding of the primary characterization methods that are used to study and measure the physical and chemical properties of the chosen material and how to appropriately communicate research ideas to their peers. Additionally, students will learn about the broader impacts of their work and the importance of broadening participation - each of which are required elements in NSF proposal.
