Introducation to Advanced Engineering Ceramics and Glasses

3 credits · Graduate

This course focuses on gaining an understanding of advanced ceramics and glasses, used in structural and functional applications. Processing techniques from powders to consolidated components are explored, together with associated mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of advanced ceramics. Case studies examine state-of-the-art ceramic systems and/or manufacturing techniques. PREREQUISITES: Prior completion of an introductory Materials Eng Course (comparable to MECH 3100 or MECH 3200) RESTRICTIONS: Graduate students registered in Mechanical or Materials Engineering, or with permission of the instructor. EXCLUSIONS: MECH 4190 FORMATS: Lecture
