CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
66897	Laboratory	MAC	2:00PM -4:50PM	TR	L440 Digital Computer Laboratory	Ferguson, A	Part of Term: B Date Range: 10/23/17-12/13/17 Section Title: Computational MSE- Macroscale Section Info: Hands-on experience with popular macroscopic computational materials science and engineering software through project-based learning in finite element modeling (OOF2) and phase equilibria calculations (Thermo-Calc). Students will also develop proficiency in data analysis and visualization in MATLAB. The course will prioritize the physical principles underlying the software to confer an understanding of their applicability and limitations, and hands-on immersive praxis to give students the confidence and expertise to independently use these tools. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Materials Science & Engineerng department.
66903	Laboratory	NP1	2:00PM -4:50PM	MW	204 Ceramics Kiln House	Shim, M	Part of Term: B Date Range: 10/23/17-12/13/17 Section Title: Novel Photovoltaics Section Info: Students are introduced to emerging photovoltaic materials through hands-on experiments. Students fabricate and characterize solar cells made of materials such as organometal halide perovskites. Different methods to synthesize/deposit these materials and device architectures are examined. Students then critically examine advantages and challenges associated with integrating new materials into photovoltaics. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Materials Science & Engineerng department.
