Introduction to Materials Engineering and Chemistry

Graduate

This two-term introductory course provides the foundational knowledge of materials engineering and chemistry required for further study in the MMCE program. It covers the mechanical, optical, and electronic properties of a wide range of materials and their preparation methods. Emphasised is the interconnectivity between structures of materials at atomic, molecular, and supramolecular length scales and their application specific properties. The types of materials covered may include metals, alloys, ceramics, magnetic materials, polymers, composites, inorganic semiconductors, organic semiconductors, and nanomaterials. (3 lecture hours/week; 6-credit course over 2 terms.)(Co-requisites: MATL-8821 Materials Engineering and Chemistry Laboratory) (This course is offered only to students enrolled in the Master of Materials Chemistry and Engineering)
