	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	80275	Lecture	MAS	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	190 Engineering Sciences Building	Sardela, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/25-12/10/25 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Modern Methods in Mat'ls Chara Section Info: Modern Methods in Materials Characterization: The Materials Research Laboratory (MRL), with world class instrumentation and expertise on materials characterization, will offer a semester-long class covering the fundamentals and applications of some the most important analytical techniques for materials research (x-ray diffraction, scattering and photoelectron spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and thermo-gravimetry analysis, laser confocal profilometry, light scattering-based particle size analysis, confocal Raman and ellipsometry, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy, etc.). The concepts discussed in classroom will be augmented with live virtual experimental lab sessions which include student participation using state-of-the-art instrumentation available at the MRL core facilities. Restriction(s): Not intended for students with Freshman or Sophomore class standing.
	80693	Lecture	PB	12:30PM -1:50PM	TR	3100 Sidney Lu Mech Engr Bldg	Bellon, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/25-12/10/25 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Computational Thermo & Kinetic Section Info: The course will provide fundamental principles and cover practical applications of the modeling of thermodynamics and kinetics in hard materials, including diffusion in binary and multicomponent alloys, nucleation and precipitation, spinodal decomposition, ordering, and solidification. Applications to practical situations and engineering materials will be developed using the commercial software Thermo-Calc and open-source continuum-scale (phase-field) modeling. This course does not require any coding. Prerequisites: MSE 401 and MSE 402 or equivalent courses or instructor approval.
