Mixture Phase Diagrams Comprehension
Students will be able to read liquid-solid mixture phase diagrams involving liquid-solid and solid-solid equilibria and solid solubility and construct mass balances from them using the lever rule, tie lines, etc.
Molecular Interactions
Students will understand the relationship of molecular interactions, including potential energy and intermolecular forces, to the properties and behaviors of materials.
Crystal Structure
Students will understand crystal structure including nomenclature, packing, and defects.
Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Students will understand mechanical behavior of materials including elastic, plastic, viscous, glass, surface, and stress/strain phenomena and how they are affected by molecular structure and/or microstructure.
Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Students will understand mechanical behavior of materials including elastic, plastic, viscous, glass, surface, and stress/strain phenomena and how they are affected by molecular structure and/or microstructure.
Material Behaviors
Students will understand the physical/chemical behaviors of metals, ceramics, and polymers including effects of molecular weight, crystallinity, crystallite size defects, surface energy, heat-treating, and corrosion.
Electronic Material Behaviors
Students will understand the electronic behaviors of metals, semiconductors, and insulators.
Matching Characteristics vs. Conditions
Students will be able to match the physical and chemical characteristics of a material to process conditions/variables in order to evaluate its suitability for use with the process.
Graphical Data Interpretation
Students will demonstrate effective interpretation of graphical data.
Problem-Solving
Students will demonstrate an ability to solve engineering problems.
Thinking Skills
Students will exhibit critical and creative thinking skills for analysis and evaluation of problems and cause-effect relationships.
Solution Rationalizations, Estimations, and Assessments
Students will be able to rationalize units, make order of magnitude estimates, assess reasonableness of solutions, and select appropriate levels of solution sophistication.
Reading Comprehension
Students will demonstrate effective reading of technical material.
