CLASS TIME & DURATION
See the current class schedule for class time and location
One lab (3 hours) per week, total 12 labs, 1 general introduction and one or two field trips
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course covers labs of essential processing methods for metal, ceramic, polymer, and electronic materials. The labs will be conducted at research groups with expertise of processing these types of materials within the MSE department.
FIELD TRIP
Poco graphite or Daltile (other possible places: TI, Raytheon, UHV technologies) on April 29
GRADING
Class participation is required for each of the labs. Lab reports are due at the end of each session (e.g. polymer, metal, etc …). Grading is based on class participation and the reports.
