Section Title:
Alloy Design & Performance
Section Info:
Experiments are performed on aqueous corrosion, sensitization of stainless steel, performance of Pb-free (Sn-Bi) solders, and failure analysis (on tractor parts provided by CATERPILLAR). The course emphasizes failure analysis and alloy design, the proper use of instrumentation (scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis, x-ray diffraction, mechanical testing, electrodynamic polarization testing of corrosion), communication skills, and respect for the importance of safety.

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.

Section Title:
Modeling Plasticity
Section Info:
Predicting plastic behavior from dislocation behavior and interaction in metals. Hands-on experience with popular macroscopic computational materials science and engineering software through project-based learning in molecular simulation (LAMMPS) and discrete dislocation dynamics (ParaDiS). 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.
