INTRODUCTORY LECTURES IN BIOMATERIALS (3)
Horowitz/Mueller
Limit
60 This course provides an introductory
overview of the selection and use of materials in biological systems.
The lectures are of an introductory nature suitable for the nonspecialist and are open to freshmen. Topics to be included
are selected from the areas of design of special materials for
use in biological systems, the use of materials in biological
systems, and the study of the properties of natural biological
materials. |

INTRODUCTION TO ENGINEERING MATERIALS (3)
Weihs An introduction
to the structure, properties, and processing of materials used
in engineering applications. After beginning with the structure
of materials on the atomic and microscopic scales, this course
explores defects and their role in determining materials properties,
the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase transformations, and
ways in which structure and properties can be controlled through
processing. |

ENGINEERING ETHICS (3) Rahmoeller Limit 20 25
The course is built
around actual case studies, supplemented by materials dealing
with engineering professionalism, codes of ethics, and ethics
philosophy. Students will learn professional responsibility, and
how to design ethical responses within an organizational structure
where one must balance career needs, legal and regulatory concerns,
financial demands, and ambiguous and incomplete information. |

IN SERVICE (3) Green
This course will describe the various types of environmental chemical
attack (corrosion) resulting in degradation of materials, as well
as the loss of mechanical stability caused by cyclic fatigue,
other mechanical loading, and thermal cycling. In addition, we
will discuss advanced nondestructive evaluation techniques for
detecting fatigue, corrosion, and thermal damage in structures
in service.

INTERFACIAL PHENOMENA IN NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS (3) Erlebacher/Stebe All materials properties of materials change when encountered or
fabricated with nanoscale structure.
In this class, we will examine how the properties of nanostructured
materials differ from their macroscopic behavior, primarily due
to the presence of large interfacial areas relative to the characteristic
volume scale. General topics include the structure of nanostructured
materials (characterization and microscopy), thermodynamics (effects
of high curvatures and surface elasticity), kinetics and phase
transformations (diffusion and morphological stability), and electronic
properties (quantum confinement and effects of dimensionality).
