MSCI 201 — Fundamentals of Materials Science (3 Credits, Varies)
Fundamentals of Materials Science introduces the structural features of metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, emphasizing how atomic bonding, processing, structure, and defects combine to determine material properties. Students will be trained in the tools and language used to describe these relationships both qualitatively and quantitatively. This course is designed for students preparing for majors in materials science, engineering, technology, or any fields where understanding materials is essential. PREREQ: CHEM 111 and MATH 170 . (3 lecture hours, 0 lab hours, 3 credits)
