MJEG 6313 - Advanced Engineering Materials

Modem metallic alloys, polymeric composites and ceramics used in aerospace, electronics, biomedical and transportation industries will be presented from a basic Materials Science perspective, as well as using numerical modeling and experimental techniques. Current manufacturing methods, such as rapid prototyping, powder metallurgy, friction stir processing, etc will be incorporated in the course. Evaluation of high temperature, wear and corrosion behavior will be incorporated in lab exercises, together with issues on environmental, health and recycling problems related to these advanced materials. Class 3. Prerequisite(s): ENGR 2313 or equivalent.
