Principles and Applications of Interfacial Phenomena

Undergraduate

This course covers the nature and consequences of both flexible and rigid interfaces, such as those associated with liquids and solids respectively. We examine the properties of interfaces as they exist alone, as a collective (e.g., colloids), and also as they interact demonstrably with one another. An integral part of this course is the introduction and application of engineering analysis to calculate and predict behaviors central to technological applications. This course is designed for engineering majors. Other STEM majors are welcome but physics and multivariable calculus are prerequisites. Ideally, students should also have taken thermodynamics but this is not formally required. SC TTh 2:35pm-3:50pm
