Special Topics of Materials Science

1 - 3 Units

This course introduces graduate students to specific topics of material science, tailored to individual interests of the students. For example, students with interest in specific techniques for microcharacterization of materials may be educated in the physical background of these techniques by studying literature under the guidance of the instructor, presenting and discussing the learned material with the instructor and other students, and being trained in practical experimentation in laboratory sessions demonstrating these techniques on instruments of SCSAM, the Swagelok Center for Surface Analysis of Materials.
