SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF MODERN ENGINEERING MATERIALS.

Catalog description

In this course, materials science, chemistry, physics, and engineering concepts will be applied to describe, explain, and analyze the structure, properties, processing, and performance of engineering materials. A fundamental understanding of the atomic bonding, thermodynamics and kinetics of dissolution and precipitation processes, phase diagrams, crystalline structures and defects, and chemical and physical surficial and interfacial phenomena will be applied to understand the influences of chemical composition and reactions, and mass transport processes on the evolution of microstructure and properties of modern engineering materials, include cements and concrete, zeolites, glasses, and nanomaterials. Prerequisite: Department consent and must be in a college of engineering professional program or college of science professional program.
