MER 354 - Advanced Materials

Course Units: 1.0

(TBD: Staff) Advanced materials for engineers are introduced with a focus on the properties and applications of the materials. Several advanced materials currently in the research and development stage will also be introduced with a discussion of the needed infrastructure to bring the materials to production. Topics include composites, engineering alloys, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices, nanomaterials, semiconductors and microelectronic fabrication, and superconductors. Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: MER 213 or by permission of the instructor. CC: SET
