RESIDENT INSTRUCTION 4B.1. Courses Taught at the University of Georgia ENGG 4615/6615, CHEM 4615/6615/8390: Soft Materials, Fall 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, Spring 2016 The first course involving polymer science and engineering offered at UGA. It covers general aspects of chemistry, physical properties, structure and dynamics, and applications of soft materials (including polymers, colloids, liquid crystals, gels and biomaterials). The course is separated on the graduate and undergraduate level due to the amount of assignments and depth of questions on the exams. 1 Dr. Jason Locklin CHEM 8390: Special Topics in Organic Chemistry: Principles of Polymerization, Spring 2008, Summer 2015 This course is geared towards graduate students with interest in synthetic organic chemistry and polymer science.
