BIOENG 2601 - PRINCIPLES AND PROPERTIES OF COMPLEX ENGINEERED MATERIALS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Complex engineered materials are a new class of systems comprising a variety of inorganic materials. This course is designed to introduce the principles and various functional properties exhibited by inorganic materials at the Nano, Micro and Meso scales. Since inorganic materials comprising metallic and non-metallic systems are a very complicated class of materials that display myriad properties, this course is outlined to discuss the most important properties. Thus, the course will mainly cover optical, electrical, thermal and electrochemical properties of both crystalline and amorphous inorganic complex engineered materials. In each category, the principles underlining each property will be discussed followed by the material class, behavior and applications. The effect of microstructure on each of the properties will also be discussed. The course objective is to introduce the student to these complex engineered materials family and their properties. In doing so, the student should be able to identify a material for a particular application
