Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Properties of Materials
- Course Summary:
- MSE 2001 will teach students the fundamental principles of process-structure-property relations to design engineering materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, semiconductors, and composites. Students will learn the “vernacular” of materials science and engineering to facilitate technical communication, broaden design vision, and establish a foundation for further study of the subject area (if desired).
