The University of Texas at Austin CHE 350 – Chemical Engineering Materials Unique#14440; Spring 2015 Instructor: Delia Milliron telephone: 232-5702 office: NHB 6.404; office hours Th 9:30-10:30am, F 3:00-4:00pm email: [email protected] TA: Ankit Agrawal office: CPE 4.470; office hours M, Th 3:00-4:30pm email: [email protected] Meeting times: Lecture T/Th 8:00-9:30am – NOA 1.126 This course provides an introduction to Materials Science and Engineering. Materials Science focuses on understanding the structure-property relationships of solids and condensed phases; i.e., how materials respond to applied stimuli, such as light, electricity, and mechanical forces. By understanding the fundamental relationships between atomic structure and properties, materials can be designed and fabricated to elicit a desired set of properties. Text: Craig R.
