CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
66885	Laboratory	CP	2:00PM -4:50PM	MW	Ceramics Building	Nagel, L Riedel, Z	Part of Term: A Date Range: 08/22/22-10/14/22 Section Title: Ceramic Processing Section Info: The objective of this course is to provide students with an understanding of ceramics properties and processing. Students will explore aspects of ceramic powders preparation, powder characterization, forming methods, thermal processing, and physical property characterization. Students will explore the interplay between crystal, electronic, chemical, and microstructural degrees of freedom in ceramics. This section will have distributed classroom attendance with supplemental instruction. You will receive an email from our department with specific attendance directives. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Materials Science & Engineerng department.
66895	Laboratory	MIC	2:00PM -4:50PM	TR	Digital Computer Laboratory	Schleife, A	Part of Term: A Date Range: 08/22/22-10/14/22 Section Title: Computational MSE- Microscale Section Info: Hands-on experience with popular microscopic computational materials science and engineering software through project-based learning in electronic structure calculation (Quantum Espresso) and molecular simulation (LAMMPS). Students will also develop proficiency in the command line interface and bash shell scripting. 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.
