MSE 201 Structure and Properties of Engineering Materials

Introduction to the fundamental physical principles governing the structure and constitution of metallic and nonmetallic materials and the relationships among these principles and the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of engineering materials.

MSE 360 Kinetic Processes in Materials

Types, mechanisms and kinetics of solid-state phase transformations are covered with selected applications to all classes of materials. Mechanisms of diffusion and techniques for diffusion calculations are presented. The role of surface energy and strain in the evolution of structure during transformation is presented. Phenomena at different size scales (atomic, nano, micro) are described relative to the evolution of structure during transformation.

MSE 791 Materials for Electrochemical Technologies 

Fundamental thermodynamics and kinetics of materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies, along with recent developments in their science and engineering.
