    This course covers an introduction to crystallography and the methods, principles and techniques involved in single crystal growth. Crystallography principles including symmetry, lattices, space groups, reciprocal space, diffraction, and microscopy will be covered as a means of classifying and characterizing different crystal structures as well as common defects. Principles of single crystal growth including solidification, vapor/solid/liquid transport, and kinetic considerations will be taught. The course will be also include detailed descriptions of single crystal growth techniques alongside laboratory experience growing and characterizing actual crystals with techniques such as Bridgman method, zone melting, arc and skull melting, Czochralski method, flux method, CVD, PVD, VLS, saturated solution growth, and others. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in MSE 5034 OR MET E 3630

    This course will cover theory of polymer synthesis including free-radical polymerization, step-reaction polymerization, copolymerization, and gelation. Some lab and industrial techniques for synthesis will be discussed. The characterization section will cover theory, techniques, and analysis of data by many common characterization methods. Emphasis will be placed on solution and solid-state approaches to polymer characterization. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in CHEM 2310

    This course will teach students the fundamental aspects of Materials Informatics. Students will learn how to apply data science techniques and approaches to materials research. The course will cover both theory in machine learning to practical exercises in materials science contexts. Students will learn why materials informatics is important from a historical perspective as well as an analysis of future possibilities. Prerequisites: 'C' or better in (MSE 2001 AND COMP 1010) OR Department Consent

    This course presents both an overview of the applications of molten salts in various metallurgical/energy conversion processes and a series of lectures on fundamental engineering aspects of molten salts. Each week will consist of one seminar-style class and one lecture-style class. This is aimed at both motivating an interest in molten salts and instructing the students how to analyze processes and solve problems based on thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena. Experimental methods will be explained with some demonstrations performed in the laboratory. The course is primarily intended for graduate students but should be suitable for advanced undergraduates (junior or senior level or equivalent).
  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    This course will allow students to earn academic credit for successful completion of a Materials Science and Engineering-related internship. To have an internship fulfill a Technical Elective requirement, students must earn a total of 3 credit hours and complete a graded Technical Report. The internship progress will be monitored, evaluated, and graded by the Internship Program Advisor. Students must take an active role in finding and applying for an appropriate internship before enrolling for the course.

    Music is an art that exists only in time. It cannot be 'frozen' and made available to study at leisure as one would study a painting or piece of sculpture. Through class discussion, guided listening, and required attendance at concerts, students examine historically important forms and techniques of the music of Western civilization. Particular attention is paid to historical and formal relationships of music to other fine arts, such as painting and architecture. Also emphasizes critical listening to discern important elements of musical composition and develop an appreciation of music as art, not just as entertainment.
