MSTC 231. Fundamentals of Materials in Technology I. 4 Credits.
Fundamental principles necessary to understand structure-property relations in materials. Key concepts from physics, general chemistry, and mathematics are covered to instill core materials science subject matter and introduce knowledge of challenges in technology requiring innovation in modern materials. Included are thermodynamic concepts of structure from bonding to microstructure, and how to apply these interrelationships between structure and properties in technology relevant materials, diffusion processes, and gain competency in modern programming languages for data analysis. Sequence with MSTC 232.
Requisites: Coreq: CH 221Z or CH 221HZ; MATH 251Z.
